Manoj Bajpayee and Kay Kay Menon are two actors who have been adored by fans, but the duo has barely collaborated. Yesterday, reports surfaced claiming that these two stalwarts are coming together for a Neeraj Pandey film, leaving moviegoers thrilled about one of the most exciting collaborations true cinema enthusiasts could hope for. However, Manoj Bajpayee has now reacted to this report.

Manoj Bajpayee and Kay Kay Menon not collaborating

Manoj Bajpayee took to his social media and responded to a report that read, "@BajpayeeManoj and @kaykaymenon02 to star in #NeerajPandey's Netflix espionage thriller." Reacting to this, Bajpayee wrote, "Hahaha kaha se ye khabar shuru hote hai bhai?" (Where do these news reports originate from?). Later in the night, after identifying the original source, he replied to the journalist's tweet on X with: "Kab hua ye?" (When did this happen?).

This reaction from Manoj Bajpayee comes as disappointing news for fans and moviegoers who were hoping to see the two actors work together. The two have shared screen space in only one film so far - Sanjeev Sharma's 2016 comedy Saat Uchakkey, produced by Neeraj Pandey's banner Friday Filmworks.

Although they have acted together in just one film, both Manoj and Kay Kay have collaborated with Neeraj Pandey on multiple occasions. Bajpayee has worked with Neeraj on projects including the 2013 period heist thriller Special 26, the 2018 spy thriller Aiyaary, Naam Shabana (2017), and Missing (2018). Meanwhile, Kay Kay starred in Neeraj's spy thriller series Special Ops.
