Manoj Bajpayee and Sharib Hashmi share a great rapport as they have worked together in three seasons of their beloved crime drama, "The Family Man".

While Manoj Bajpayee is seen as protagonist Srikant Tiwari on the show, Sharib Hashmi essays the role of his good friend and colleague JK Talpade.

Along with these two, the popular show further sees Priyamani, Sharad Kelkar, Vedant Sinha, and Ashlesha Thakur in key roles.

Up next, Manoj Bajpayee has once again joined hands with filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma for the forthcoming horror comedy "Police Station Mein Bhoot".

Previously, RGV opened up about reuniting with Manoj Bajpayee. The 'Satya' maker told IANS, “Working with Manoj again after Satya is both thrilling and nostalgic. Fear becomes most frightening when it challenges the highest authority of protection, and a police station is the ultimate symbol of power.”

Speaking about the cast of “Police Station Mein Bhoot,” which also includes Genelia Deshmukh, the director added, “With Manoj’s intensity and Genelia’s vulnerability, this story will expand boundaries of how we see horror in the guise of authority."
