Neeraj Pandey is one such modern-day director who is praised for his unique way of storytelling through his films. From gripping stories like ‘ A Wednesday! ’ and ‘ Special 26 ’ to the unique biographical ‘ M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story ’, Pandey’s film always have the third dimension of showcasing the stories. Pandey, who is widely known for working with Akshay Kumar , is coming up his next project, ‘ Aiyaary ’. ‘ Aiyaary ’, that stars Manoj Bajpayee and Sidharth Malhotra as the main leads, is the story of two Indian Army officers, one who’s a mentor & other being his protégé. Here’s the first glimpse of ‘ Aiyaary ’ by Neeraj Pandey , which is jointly made under the banner of Reliance Entertainment, Plan C and Jayantilal Gada (Pen Studios)

Apart from Manoj and Sidharth, the multi-starrer also has Rakul Preet Singh , Naseeruddin Shah , Pooja Chopra and Anupam Kher in the pivotal roles and the movie is scheduled to hit the screens on 26th January 2018.

Interestingly, Pandey is releasing his film on the same day with Kumar’s ‘ Padman ’. Akshay, who pushed ‘ 2.0 ’ towards April release to avoid the clashes, will now have to compete with Pandey, with whom he had worked in five projects in the past.

It will surely be a win-win situation for all the movie lovers as both the actor and the director are giving back to back quality movies, and it will be more fun to see the duo competing for the first time.
