Fans of Shabana Raza Bajpayee have much to rejoice as she, in collaboration with her husband Manoj Bajpayee and Vikram Khakhar, launches Aurega Studios. Shabana's debut film, Kareeb (1998), opposite Bobby Deol, made her an overnight sensation, and after taking a step back from the limelight in 2010 to focus on raising their daughter, Ava Nyla, she now returns to the film industry.

This marks her comeback with a new role in film production, igniting fans' excitement and curiosity about whether she will also return to acting. Manoj Bajpayee, marking his first role as a producer and his 100th film, and Vikram Khakhar, known for producing films such as Main aur Charles, Dobara (official adaptation of the American horror film Oculus), One by Two, and Virsa, join her in this venture.

The studio's inaugural film, Bhaiyya Ji, channels the iconic vibe that fans have long admired in Manoj Bajpayee's performances. The film features the intense song 'Baagh Ka Kareja,' exhibiting roaring energy which fans have been vibing on and is trending across social media.

Shabana Raza Bajpayee also made her debut on social media by sharing a family picture with husband Manoj Bajpayee and daughter Ava Nyla, captioning it, "Hello World, here's my world." Manoj Bajpayee affectionately embraced her online presence, responding with a heartfelt message: "Welcome, my world. Finally 🙏🏽."

'Bhaiyya Ji' is about a man who stands up for his family and seeks revenge for the wrongs done towards his loved ones. Fans have been raving about the teaser of the film and are eagerly anticipating watching him in theatres as the OG they have loved him for.

Talking about Bhaiyya Ji being his 100th film, the actor recently said that he finds it hard to believe that he has reached the milestone. "Even now when you are mentioning it, it feels surreal," he smiles. For the actor, who left his village in Bihar to pursue his celluloid dreams, it feels like a miracle. "Coming from outside, taking such a long journey from my village to this point is miraculous. I always feel some kind of magic is happening with my life and career. Someone up there has really been taking care of me."
