The master of impeccable performances, Manoj Bajpayee is without a doubt one of the most talented actors in the industry today. From his powerful acting as Bhiku Mahatre in Satya` to Veerendra Pratap in Rajneeti` to Sardar Khan in Gangs of Wasseypur`, this man has time and again managed to enchant audiences with some extremely convincing character plays. And today is a special day for this powerhouse of talent who will be celebrating his 46th birthday.

This year, the award-winning actor is set to captivate audiences once again in Hansal Mehta`s upcoming film, Aligarh`. Known to deliver his best in every role, the versatile actor is about to venture into a very different role for his next release. The actor had also mentioned in an interview with a popular publication about how he had to unlearn everything that he had known till date in order to step into the shoes of his character in Aligarh`.

We definitely can`t wait to see the actor weave his magic with the audience once more, and with his birthday today, we wish him all the best with his upcoming release. We hope that he continues to entertain us with more powerful performances in the year ahead.
