Manoj Bajpayee Bags National Award For Bhosle, Hits A Hat-Trick
Veteran actor Manoj Bajpayee hits a hat-trick of bagging the prestigious National Award as he has won his third 'Best Actor (Male)' award for his much-acclaimed movie 'Bhonsle'.
Manoj has won his first National Award for Satya, and Special Jury Award for his feature film Pinjar and now bags National Film Award for Bhonsle.
Manoj took to his social media and wrote, “Thank You” while sharing the poster of Bhosle.
The Devashish Makhija directorial sees Bajpayee playing the role of the titular character named 'Bhonsle' who is a retired policeman and is living a non-interfering life in a colony dominated by locals, diagnosed with stage 4 brain tumour. When the migrant resident politics take a nasty turn, he chooses to take a stance and deal with it.
The 'Aligarh' actor, who co-produced the film alongside Piiyush Singh, befriends a North Indian girl and her brother who are targeted among other migrants by local politicians. The first look of the movie was launched at the 2018 'Cannes Film Festival'.
