(Riya Singh, Intern Journalist): Actor Manoj Bajpayee has denied rumours of him playing gangster Vikas Dubey in a movie. “Wrong news,” he wrote, retweeting a news item about the movie. Fans thanked him for the clarification of the rumours.
Last week Vikas Dubey has been charged with murdering eight policemen. He was shot dead at trying to flee after a road crash while being taken from Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh to Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur.
Manoj was last seen in Bhonsle which premiered at the 2018 Busan International Film Festival. Bajpayee bagged his second best actor trophy at the Asia Pacific Film Awards in 2019 for his depiction of Ganpat Bhonsle, three years after winning the Aligarh prize for biographical drama. He will soon be seen in Raj and DK’s The Family Man in the second season. The show also features Actor Samantha Akkineni.
