Manoj
Bajpayee
in
Despatch.
Manoj
Bajpayee
is
back
with
another
gripping
story
in
Despatch,
an
investigative
crime
thriller
which
is
set
to
release
on
ZEE5
on
December
13.
Directed
by
Kanu
Behl
and
produced
by
Ronnie
Screwvala’s
RSVP
Movies,
the
film
follows
the
journey
of
Joy
Bag
(played
by
Bajpayee),
a
crime
journalist
entangled
in
a
dangerous
investigation.
The
trailer
shows
Bajpayee’s
character
navigating
the
murky
world
of
media
corruption
and
the
criminal
underworld.
His
pursuit
of
uncovering
a
massive
scam
turns
into
a
perilous
journey
as
unknown
threats
mount
against
him.
In
one
of
the
scenes,
Bajpayee
appears
in
a
naked,
raw
moment.
Speaking
to
ANI
about
the
scene,
Bajpayee
explained
its
importance
to
the
story.
“If
it
wasn’t
necessary,
we
wouldn’t
have
included
it.
When
you
watch
the
film
closely,
you’ll
understand
how
this
man,
at
this
stage
of
his
life,
is
spiraling
backward
despite
his
success.
These
aspects
are
not
included
to
provoke
or
titillate
the
audience.
We
create
films
to
tell
stories,
and
certain
actions
or
scenes
feel
essential
to
convey
the
depth
of
the
story,”
he
said.
Bajpayee
describes
the
director
as
a
passionate
and
fearless
storyteller.
“I
got
the
craziest
director
in
Kanu
Behl,”
he
says.
“Not
only
did
he
write
an
incredible
script
but
his
method
of
bringing
it
to
life
was
equally
mad.
He
threw
us
into
the
fire,
and
at
one
point,
I
thought
we’d
burn
out.
But
he
guided
us
through
it,”
the
actor
shared.
The
film
had
its
debut
at
the
MAMI
Film
Festival
2024
and
was
later
screened
at
the
International
Film
Festival
of
India.
The
film
also
stars
Shahana
Goswami
and
Arrchita
Agarwaal.
