Manoj Bajpayee gets another feather to his cap. He has been awarded with the Best Actor Award at the Durban International Film Festival. This is the first time any Indian is being awarded with the prestigious award.
The Zee5 original movie ‘Joram’ was competing in the Film Festival and it got two awards. Alongside Bajpayee’s historical triumph, the movie got another Award for its cinematography as well. Piyush Putty got the award for Best Cinematography.
Manoj Bajpayee is having a great year with back to back successes. He is ruling beyond genres. His OTT release ‘Gulmohar’ was highly appreciated by critics and audiences. ‘Sirf Ek Banda Kaafi Hai’ too was a direct to OTT release,but its massive success compelled the makers to release it in theaters, which is quite unprecedented. His Netflix Special ‘Soup’ is in post production and he will have another movie called ‘Despatch’ soon. With this huge list, one more movie is now added.
Joram will be a drama written and directed by Devashish Makhija. This is the third time Makhija and Bajpayee are collaborating. Debashish Makhija is known for films like Oonga, Rahim Murge Pe Mat Ro and various short films. Fans are excited to watch the movie. Zeeshan Ayyub and Tannishtha Chatterjee will also be seen in important roles.
