Actor Rajesh Tailang says he loved working with filmmaker Neeraj Pandey in Aiyaary and hopes to collaborate with him again.

“I have always been a fan of Neeraj. I loved his films like A Wednesday and Special 26. He is very precise and to the point. He knows what exactly he wants out of you and helps you to achieve that in a very friendly manner,” Rajesh said in a statement.

“He establishes each of his characters beautifully. It was really great to be working with such a great director and human being. I hope to work with him in future too,” he added.

“Aiyaary”, set in Delhi, London and Kashmir, revolves around two strong-minded army officers having completely different views, yet right in their own ways. It is a real-life story based on the relationship between a mentor and a protege.

Slated to release on February 9, it features Sidharth Malhotra and Manoj Bajpayee in the lead roles.

On his role, Rajesh said: “I am playing the negative role of Brigadier K Srinivas. It is always a challenge to play a character with grey shades.”
