Manoj Bajpayee is all set to star in his 100th film Bhaiyaa Ji. The movie starring Zoya Hussain as the female lead will hit the theatres on May 24 this year. What makes this movie even more interesting is that it’ll mark the return of Manoj’s wife and former actress Shabana Raza to showbiz. But there’s a catch!
