The film production bug has bitten Manoj Bajpayee too. The actor is producing a thriller starring himself with the versatile Tabu. He says the new feather in his hat is a “natural progression”.

“I think production was a natural progression for me after acting in films for 20 years. I cannot disclose much about my first production as it’s a thriller and it would mean revealing the storyline — you will have to watch the film,” Bajpayee said.

Produced by Manoj Bajpayee Productions Pvt. Ltd, the film will be directed by debutant Mukul Abhyankar. The film is yet to be titled.
