Writer-lyricist-actor Piyush Mishra has taken a sharp swipe at filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, saying he dislikes the second halves of many of his films, including a few he himself acted in. In a joint interview with Manoj Bajpayee, Piyush said that he is particularly annoyed with Gulaal, whose second half, in his view, “spoiled the entire experience.”

Manoj Bajpayee, who is currently promoting his upcoming film Jugnuma, has opened up about a deeply unsettling period in his life when he almost considered walking away from cinema. The actor revealed that it was his wife, Shabana Raza, who stood firmly by him and assured him that she would support his decision no matter what.

Manoj Bajpayee and Anurag Kashyap’s friendship goes back to their first commercial hit Satya (1998), where Bajpayee shot to fame as Bhiku Mhatre and Kashyap penned the script for Ram Gopal Varma’s gritty underworld drama. The two went on to collaborate on Kaun and Shool, but a misunderstanding drove a wedge between them for years. It was only with Kashyap’s two-part gangster epic Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) that they reunited to create cinematic magic.

Inspector Madhukar Zende's capture of Charles Sobhraj is back in focus with a new Netflix series. Zende, who apprehended the 'Bikini Killer' twice, became a national hero. His second arrest led to widespread media coverage, a witty hoarding, and even an autograph request from Lata Mangeshkar. Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Dilip Kumar also acknowledged Zende's bravery, solidifying his fame.

Manoj Bajpayee discussed his enduring friendship and creative partnership with Ram Gopal Varma, highlighting their iconic collaborations like Satya and Shool. After 27 years, they reunited for 'Police Station Mein Bhoot,' with Manoj praising Varma's visionary approach and fearless creativity. He also noted RGV's childlike enthusiasm and humility on set, contributing to remarkable filmmaking.

Manoj Bajpayee stars as Inspector Madhukar Zende in the upcoming crime-comedy 'Inspector Zende,' portraying the cop famous for capturing Charles Sobhraj, renamed Carl Bhojraj and played by Jim Sarbh, twice. The film, directed by Chinmay Mandlekar, highlights Zende's pursuit of the 'Bikini killer,' including his initial 1971 arrest and the 1986 Goa capture.
