Geeta Devi is survived by two other sons and three daughters. Manoj’s father RK Bajpayee died in October last year. Manoj’s father had been critically ill for some time and died at the age of 83 in Delhi. Manoj was shooting for a film in Kerala at the time and rushed to Delhi for the last rites.

On Wednesday, Manoj Bajpayee announced his next film, a courtroom drama titled Bandaa and unveiled his first look from the film. The movie is directed by Apoorv Singh Karki who has previously worked on web shows such as Aspirants and Saas Bahu Achaar Pvt Ltd.

Directed by Ram Gopal Varma, Satya featured Manoj Bajpayee and set a trend of gangster films in Bollywood. Anurag Kashyap had co-written the film with Ram Gopal Varma. Saurabh Shukla, Urmila Matondkar and Shefali Shah also starred in the film._Agencies
