ZEE5 has announced the world digital premiere of ‘Bhaiyya Ji’, a high-octane action revenge drama marking Manoj Bajpayee’s 100th film. Following the success of ‘Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai,’ which recently surpassed 1 billion watch minutes on ZEE5, ‘Bhaiyya Ji’ promises another gripping tale of revenge and justice, showcasing a never-before-seen avatar of the versatile actor.

Starting July 26, viewers can witness Manoj Bajpayee’s portrayal of a larger-than-life character, blending the raw intensity of UP-Bihar’s hinterland with the swaggering charisma of South Indian cinema. Helmed by visionary director Apoorv Singh Karki and backed by a dynamic production team including Vinod Bhanushali, Kamlesh Bhanushali, Samiksha Oswal, Shael Oswal, Shabana Raza Bajpayee, and Vikram Khakhar, this thrilling ride of revenge and justice is poised to set screens ablaze.

Manoj Bajpayee, often hailed as the star of OTT, has a strong presence on ZEE5 with numerous successful projects to his name on the platform, including ‘Silence: Can You Hear It?’, ‘Dial 100’, ‘Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari’, and ‘Chakravyuh’. His versatile performances have made him a favorite among audiences, and ‘Bhaiyya Ji’ is set to further cement his legacy in the world of OTT.

‘Bhaiyya Ji’ follows the journey of a retired and feared criminal who
seeks vengeance for the brutal murder of his younger brother. When a trivial argument leads to tragedy, Bhaiyya Ji comes out of his peaceful retirement to confront the powerful Gujjar responsible for his loss. Gathering his loyal associates, he ignites a fierce campaign of retribution that threatens to upend the entire criminal underworld. As the stakes rise and the danger mounts, Bhaiyya Ji’s quest for justice comes with high risks.

Manish Kalra, Chief Business Officer at ZEE5, said, “We’re thrilled to bring ‘Bhaiyya Ji’ to ZEE5, reuniting the makers behind ‘Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai’. This film not only marks Manoj’s 100th cinematic venture but also showcases him in an unprecedented avatar that blends intensity with grandeur. With ‘Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai’ achieving over 1 billion watch minutes, and now ‘Bhaiyya Ji’ continuing this momentum, we are confident in delivering high-impact content, further solidifying ZEE5’s position as the ultimate destination for cutting-edge entertainment.”

This role is quite different from my usual portrayals, blending the gritty realism of the UP-Bihar heartland with grand style. It was a unique opportunity to explore a multifaceted, larger-than-life persona that I believe will resonate with audiences across the globe. As we present ‘Bhaiyya Ji’ to the ZEE5 viewers, I’m excited for them to witness this new avatar and the intense narrative we’ve crafted.”

Working with Manoj sir again has been transformative – his dedication to embodying this multi-layered and complex character is truly inspiring. We’ve explored themes of loyalty, family, and the cyclical nature of violence in ways that I believe will
resonate deeply with audiences. This project has pushed our entire team creatively, technically, and emotionally. As Manoj sir’s 100th film, we felt a responsibility to create something truly special, and I’m confident ‘Bhaiyya Ji’ will leave a lasting impact on the digital cinema landscape when it premieres on ZEE5.”
