New Delhi: Manoj Bajpayee’s latest digital outing Mrs Serial Killer might have disappointed many digital viewers but his performance in the Netflix Indian original is the saving grace.
Bajpayee plays the role of Dr. Mrityunjay Mukherjee, who is a gynaecologist and a suspected serial killer whose wife is determined to prove his innocence by copying the crime.
The film directed by the director of films like Jaan-e-man and Joker Shirish Kunder started streaming on the digital platform May 1 onwards.
Bajpayee shared how he landed the role. “Shirish came to me at the last minute and I somehow realised that even if the role is not so lengthy, I will have a great time shooting with him. Shirish has got a great way and style of telling the story without losing its mainstream elements.”
Bajpayee thanks fans for all the love. He said, “It is overwhelming to see so much love and adoration that I have got. I will always be thankful to them. And will think twice before choosing anything and shall always keep them in mind that they’re waiting for something new and unique from me.”
The actor who has been loved in his previous digital outings is very much in favour of OTT platforms.
He says, “Whatever content was made and scheduled for this time, is getting released accordingly. The shows and movies take a lot of time to be made, so you can’t just release it just because there is a lockdown. To make a film or show, there are certain stages for its completion. Once the lockdown is over, all the OTT platforms and content are going to be in demand.”
Mrs Serial Killer stars Jacqueline Fernandez in the titular role and also has Mohit Raina playing a key role.
