'Udta Punjab's' Abhishek Chaubey is all set with his next film based on the Chambal dacoits and while he had disclosed that Bhumi Pednekar and Sushant Singh Rajput will play leading roles in the film, today reports suggest that the Ronnie Screwvala production also has Manoj Bajpayee playing an important role of a dacoit.
On whether he will be playing the role, Manoj said, "Yes, that's true though we are yet to zero in on a name for my character. I always wanted to work with Abhishek as I'm a huge admirer of his work. I have seen all his films, from 'Ishqiya' and 'Dedh Ishqiya' to 'Udta Punjab'. He picks his stories from rural or semi-urban areas and weaves them beautifully. When I got a chance to be a part of his story-telling, I couldn't turn it down. For me, this film is not so much about the role as it is about working with Abhishek Chaubey."
The actor has admitted that he will have to work hard on his Bundelkhandi dialect for the film and will start shooting in February next year.
