Suvinder Vicky had more reasons than one to give his nod to Manoj Bajpayee’s maiden production venture, Bhaiyya Ji. “To begin with, it posed a challenge,” says the actor, who came into the spotlight after his work in Kohrra (2023) and CAT (2022). “After those shows fared well, I was beginning to get typecast. I had to turn down offers in which I was expected to play a cop again. But, in Bhaiyya Ji, my look and accent are different. That was another reason to do this project. I knew that our director, Apoorv Singh Karki, had previously made Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, and I was enticed by the possibility of getting an award. I love awards!”
Being in the company of Bajpayee, he was certain, would help him achieve his dream of lifting a gong. “He can teach you [how to pull off] your performance. He can put you on the path to winning a National Award. I was excited to share screen space with him. Manoj has been part of 100 films, but in each film, he has tried to do something different,” he says, recalling how Bajpayee’s act in Gangs of Wasseypur, particularly a scene in which he is seen “killing a guy with sharp ice”, impacted him.
