“Bhonsle reading started. My director (is) Devashish Makhija. A film we wanted to make since three and a half years. Muvizz Official (production and distribution house), Abhay Muvizz excited,” he tweeted.

Manoj will be next seen in filmmaker Neeraj Pandey’s upcoming film Aiyaary. It also stars Sidharth Malhotra and Rakulpreet Singh.

The film portrays Sidharth Malhotra as an army officer sharing a mentor-protégé bond with Manoj.

Aiyaary is based on a real-life incident that revolves around two strong-minded army officers having completely different views, yet right in their own ways.

Pandey has previously helmed films like A Wednesday, Special 26 and M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story.

Presented by Reliance Entertainment and Plan C Studios, Aiyaary is a Friday Filmworks Productions and is produced by Shital Bhatia. It is scheduled for release on January 26 next year.
