The film, set in Mumbai of the nineties, is directed by Abhishek Sharma, who has earlier handled the genre in films such as Tere Bin Laden, Tere Bin Laden: Dead And Alive, The Shaukeens, and The Zoya Factor.
Meanwhile, actor Manoj Bajpayee has impressed many with his acting skills, but dancing in the movies is something he would have liked to explore more.
Bajpayee shakes a leg after a long time before the camera, for the song “Basanti” in his upcoming film, “Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari“.
“I would have liked to explore dance in movies more, but there was little scope for it in my choice of movies. I did enjoy dancing to the catchy beats of ‘Basanti’. It reminded me of ‘Satya’,” Manoj Bajpayee said referring to his 1998 film that saw him groove to the song “Sapne mein milti hai”.
“I am not a big fan of dancing, but I surely don’t mind when it facilitates storytelling like in this track. I did have a good time after all and I hope people enjoy this little surprise from me,” added Manoj Bajpayee, who is known for his acclaimed roles in films as “Satya”, “Pinjar”, “Raajneeti”, “Gangs Of Wasseypur” and “Aligarh”.
“Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari” is a comedy set in Mumbai of the nineties. Also starring Fatima Sana Shaikh and Diljit Dosanjh, the film will release on November 13.
