Mumbai: Actor Manoj Bajpayee is set to star in filmmaker Devashish Makhija’s thriller drama ”Joram”, makers announced on Tuesday.

The new film, set in Jharkhand and Mumbai, is produced by Zee Studios and Makhijafilm, run by Anupama Bose and the director.

Bajpayee described the film as a ”wonderful challenge” which will give him the opportunity to ”push the envelope further”.

”Working with like-minded producers and a director of Devashish’s vision is exciting and extremely fulfilling. Devashish and my collaborations on two occasions have done magic and I hope our joint endeavor ‘Joram’ will go very far from where we left,” the 52-year-old actor said.

Makhija said ”Joram” is a rare attempt to speak about something important that affects the world at large ”through a thrilling, dramatic action movie”. ”My producing partner Anupama Bose and I, as ‘Makhijafilm’, look forward to our first collaboration with the courageous, visionary Zee Studios, and to my third outing with my muse and mentor – the indefatigable Manoj Bajpayee,” the director added.

The film is set to go on floors by the end of April.
