Sidharth Malhotra and Manoj Bajpayee to be seen together in Neeraj Pandey's next

Mumbai: Filmmaker Neeraj Pandey, who is currently the most sought after director in Bollywood, is all geared up to kick-start the shoot of his next film.

The film titled ‘Aiyaary’ has a very unusual pairing with Sidharth Malhotra and Manoj Bajpayee in the titular roles. The trio Neeraj, Sidharth and Manoj will come together for the very first time.

Neeraj, who is known as the master of thriller films, has his next film inspired by the 1987 Opera House heist. The premise talks about a group posing as fake CBI officers executing an income tax raid on a popular jewelry branch in Mumbai.

Reportedly, a source informed, “These incredible characters exist and the incident actually happened and Neeraj was looking to explore a different kind of a story after MS Dhoni: The Untold Story. He has put together a great ensemble cast, along with Sidharth and Manoj.”

‘Aiyaary’ revolves around the relationship between a mentor and his protégé.

The film, which will go on floors in May, will extensively be shot in Delhi, London, and Kashmir. ‘Aiyaary’ will release on the Republic Day, 2018

Sidharth took to Twitter to share his excitement. This is what he posted: Super Excited to be in #aiyaary Neeraj Pandeys next ! Releasing 26th January 2018 @neerajpofficial
