Gali Guleiyan Trailer: Manoj Bajpayee is Trapped in His Own Mind in This Psychological Thriller - Watch Video

Manoj Bajpayee has the tendency to steal the show when it comes to mainstream multi-starrer films. However, the National-winning actor (Satya, Pinjar) flourishes the best when he takes the lead in indie flicks. Just see what a brilliant act he had put up for Aligarh and how cruelly he was robbed of a National award for his performance in the film (instead it went to Akshay Kumar for Rustom that year). Now two of his films, Love, Sonia and Gali Guleiyan have been honoured at the recently held IFFM 2018. Manoj Bajpayee also won the Best Actor Award at the festival for his performance in Gali Guleiyan.

Now that the trailer of Gali Guleiyan is out, we know why he deserved that recognition. Away from the hamminess of Satyameva Jayate, Manoj Bajpayee gives a controlled performance as a man driven by insanity by his isolations and the paranoia of the world outside. There is also an intriguing subplot when he overhears his neighbours through his walls and listens to the abuses and tortures the man of the house puts on his family. Gali Guleiyan also stars Ranvir Shorey, Shahana Goswami and Neeraj Kabi.

The movie is directed by Dipesh Jain and produced by Shuchi Jain of Exstant Motion Pictures. Recently after winning the Best Actor award at IFFM 2018, Manoj Bajpayee spoke about the film to FirstPost. He revealed, "When you are dealing with a character like the one I essayed in Gali Guleiyan, you know that it is going to put your experience on trial. After the commencement of the film, I wanted to celebrate since I that I was able to achieve the impossible in terms of the craft. I am completely aware how much I have been tested by this character. Moreover, there is an alternate Manoj Bajpayee who is always at work who fails to understand the emotion of giving up. However, I am also aware that the market forces are very strong and one needs to manipulate and manoeuvre the market tide to push these films. This is why I take up the middle-of-the-road films, which helps me stay sane and not carried away by the successes and failures."

Gali Guleiyan is scheduled to release on September 7.
