Over the years, Manoj Bajpayee has proved his mettle as an actor. Be it comedy, drama or an action thriller, Manoj has time and again given cinephiles a performance that they will cherish forever. While there’s no denying that Manoj is one of the most versatile actors in the industry, it won’t be wrong to say that the actor has a stronghold on the crime-thriller genre. Now as the actor is gearing up for the release of the new season of crime-thriller `The Family Man`, where he reprises his role as Srikant Tiwari, we take a look at some of Manoj Bajpayee’s impressive movies in the genre.

`Satya` (1998)

Directed by Ram Gopal Varma, `Satya` was Manoj Bajpayee’s big break. The film, which was based on the lives of Mumbai’s underworld, received plaudits from critics and audiences alike. The film was regarded as one of the most realistic portrayals of Indian gangsters and paved the way for future ‘gangster films’ in India. Manoj Bajpayee as Bhiku Mhatre, a gangster, stole the show and went on to become the poster boy for gangster films. After all, Mumbai ka King Kaun, Bhiku Mhatre? This guns-and-gangs saga not only introduced the world to the brilliant acting of Manoj Bajpayee (and he won the National Award for the same) but also made him a dance icon (Remember Sapno Mein Milti Hai?)
