Manoj sir is a national treasure! From Gangs of Wasseypur to The Family Man, he never fails to deliver. But I hope 'Governor' doesn't become another preachy political film - the dialogue in the poster feels heavy. Still rooting for him! 🙏
Javed Akhtar writing lyrics for an Amit Trivedi composition? That alone deserves a standing ovation. Manoj sir's filmography is unmatched - hope this political thriller does justice to his talent. And yes, precious dosti indeed! 🎉
The comment about "hatka yummy khana" is so wholesome! These two really bring a smile to my face. Also, June 12 can't come soon enough - India needs a good film about governance and responsibility. Happy birthday, Manoj ji! 🎂
Divya and Manoj not sharing screen space in 4 films despite both being in them? That's such a Bollywood thing! 😂 But their friendship is goals. Can't wait to see them together in two upcoming films. And that film tagline - "If I fail... India fails" - seriously gave me chills.
Happy birthday to one of India's finest actors! Manoj Bajpayee has redefined what it means to be a character actor in mainstream cinema. The Family Man season 3 was brilliant, and I have high hopes for this new project. Javed Akhtar's lyrics should be special too. Wishing both Divya and Manoj continued success!
