Mumbai, Feb 3 (PTI) Actor Manoj Bajpayee will star in Netflix’s upcoming crime thriller “Ghooskhor Pandat”, a film that reunites him with his “Special 26” filmmaker Neeraj Pandey.
Pandey serves as a producer on the new movie, which was announced at streamer’s Next on Netflix 2026 event here.
“Ghooskhor Pandat” follows Ajay Dikshit, also known as Pandat, a corrupt police officer whose plans for a lucrative and eventful night are disrupted when he finds himself caught in the middle of a global conspiracy unfolding in the heart of Delhi.
“This story is set in a world I’ve spent many years of my life in. I did theatre there, I graduated from Delhi. I’ve always liked films set in Delhi, and I really enjoy working on them.
“I first saw Delhi as an outsider when I was 18 years old, and when I left, it was for Bandit Queen. Delhi’s lifestyle has always been very fascinating for me, especially portraying a police character in that environment. I enjoyed every day of working on this,” Bajpayee, who spent his early years in the capital, said.
The film is directed by Ritesh Shah. Shah and Pandey have co-written the movie and Pandey also serves as a producer through his banner Friday Filmworks.
The cast also includes Nushrratt Bharuccha, Saqib Saleem, Akshay Oberoi and Divya Dutta.
Pandey’s newly released series “Taskaree”, starring Emraan Hashmi, is a major hit on the streamer and part of the 2026 slate.
In 2013’s “Special 26”, Bajpayee played a CBI officer trying to catch Akshay Kumar’s trickster who robs politicians of their black money. PTI RB SSG KKP BK BK
