Mumbai: Manoj Bajpayee is reuniting with his frequent collaborator Neeraj Pandey for 'Naam Shabana' and the actor said that he can relate to the filmmaker as they both have similar work values.
Bajpayee has worked with Pandey in his directorial venture 'Special 26', his production 'Saat Uchakkey' and a short film 'Ouch'.
"Our values remain the same and we relate to each other. We know each other," Bajpayee told when asked about his chemistry with Pandey.
Calling the director a 'genius', the actor said, "He has the ability to take a real story and put it out in a manner which is very appealing."
Pandey's production 'Naam Shabana' has been directed by Shivam Nair. "It is the story of a simple girl becoming extraordinary. It is a very unique, mainstream film," Bajpayee said.
Apart from 'Naam Shabana', Bajpayee will be also seen in 'Sarkar 3', 'Missing' and 'Love Sonia.'
In his over 20-year career, Bjapayee has given notable performances in films like 'Satya', 'Kaun', 'Shool', 'Zubeidaa', 'Pinjar', 'Raajneeti', 'Gangs of Wasseypur' and the recent 'Aligarh'.
The actor said he has evolved as an actor over the years. "I have my own method but I don't have only one method. When you are evolving as a person, you also evolve as an actor. In acting, when your understanding abut the real person and life evolves, your method also evolves."
