Mar 30: He is reuniting with his frequent collaborator Neeraj Pandey for 'Naam Shabana' and actor Manoj Bajpayee said that he can relate to the filmmaker as they both have similar work values.

neerajBajpayee has worked with Pandey in his directorial venture 'Special 26', his production 'Saat Uchakkey' and a short film 'Ouch'. "Our values remain the same and we relate to each other. We know each other," Bajpayee told when asked about his chemistry with Pandey.

Calling the director a 'genius', the actor said, "He has the ability to take a real story and put it out in a manner which is very appealing."

Pandey's production 'Naam Shabana' has been directed by Shivam Nair. "It is the story of a simple girl becoming extraordinary. It is a very unique, mainstream film," Bajpayee said.

Apart from 'Naam Shabana', Bajpayee will be also seen in 'Sarkar 3', 'Missing' and 'Love Sonia.'

In his over 20-year career, Bjapayee has given notable performances in films like 'Satya', 'Kaun', 'Shool', 'Zubeidaa', 'Pinjar', 'Raajneeti', 'Gangs of Wasseypur' and the recent 'Aligarh'.

The actor said he has evolved as an actor over the years. "I have my own method but I don't have only one method. When you are evolving as a person, you also evolve as an actor. In acting, when your understanding abut the real person and life evolves, your method also evolves."

When asked how he prepares himself for a role, the actor said, "I look at script. I keep changing from film to film. During the shoot of some films, I don't talk to anybody. For some others I keep laughing. For some films I go back to the script again and again, and for some (other scripts) I read for 6-7 times and then I don't go through the script any more."

Bajpayee said his 1998 crime drama 'Satya' changed film making in Bollywood. "From Anurag Kashyap to Neeraj Pandey all were inspired by 'Satya' in a way. All are fantastic directors."

"Everyone has been waiting to see Tiger team up with his 'Hero' father Jackie since we launched him. There have been plenty of speculations and no one has been able to bring them together in the last six years as the duo was categorical they would only share the screen when a film and role merited their presence.

"Ahmed and I feel the story line required Jackie to be a part of them film and I believe our visions matched to understand how it's a pivotal role in the film," Nadiadwala said in a statement.

The producer said having Jackie on board will add to the film's expectations.

"... I am confident no one will be disappointed by this double dose of Shroffs and will stand as a strong USP," Nadiadwala added.

New Delhi, Jul 10: Actor Bhumi Pednekar, who is staying indoors like many other Bollywood celebrities, on Friday said that she has learned to prioritise what is important to her amid the COVID-19-induced lockdown.

"One thing that I have learnt about myself is that I love isolation. I love being by myself. I saw a lot of people complaining that they are bored at home or that they cannot go out. I am an extrovert, I am a very social person but this quarantine has led me to realise that I do prefer my isolation over meeting people because I haven't really been in touch with people," she said.

"I have kind of been catching over my reading, not seen much television but started watching shows. I have spent a lot of time with my mom and honesty there were days when I did nothing," she added.

The 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' actor further said that it was important loving oneself and enjoying one's own company.

"I have kind of prioritised what I feel is important in life. I have re-educated myself. But the biggest learning has been that I love being alone. And maybe I have kind of enjoyed this state because as actors you are constantly surrounded by people whether you are promoting or shooting a film," she said.

"Your immediate entourage is also like a team of quite a few people. You are constantly over the phone, you are constantly over social media," she added.

Pednekar was last seen in Karan Johar's horror film 'Bhoot Part One: The Haunted Ship,'.

She will next be seen in another horror thriller, 'Durgavati.'
