Actor Manoj Bajpayee plays an important character with a twist in Sajid Nadiadwala's upcoming action film that features Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani in the lead roles. The 48-year-old actor is said to join the 'Baaghi 2' team soon as he started rehearsing the character that the filmmakers want him to portray. Manoj really liked the script of the film and he is also very familiar with the casting director, Mukesh Chhabra, and the director Ahmed Khan, whom he knows since quite a long time.

Ahmed had already choreographed him in Ram Gopal Varma's 'Satya' which was Bajpayee's greatest hit. 

Moreover, Tiger was the lead in the Sabbir Khan-directed 'Baaghi' released in 2016 featuring Shraddha Kapoor as the lead actress. However, the sequel which has Disha Patani replacing Shraddha Kapoor went on the floors on September 18 and wind up its first shooting schedule recently at Pune.

It is also reported that Baaghi 2 also marks the comeback of Prateik Babbar who is about to play the rival role. Meanwhile, both Manoj and Prateik have previously shared the screen in Prakash Jha's 2011 social-drama 'Aarakshan'.
