Ever since Tukaram Mundhe took charge as commissioner of Maharashtra’s food safety department, his strict approach to food safety has been winning praise. Now, actor Manoj Bajpayee has also joined the list of admirers and praised Mundhe for the way he carries out his duties.
The film follows Masterji (played by Bajpayee), a retired school teacher whose decision to oppose the wishes of his community leads to conflict among the residents of his building. The story looks at the choices and relationships of the people as they face a major change in their lives. Last Man in Tower is scheduled to be released in cinemas across India on September 11. The actor was last seen in projects like Governor, Inspector Zende, Despatch, Jugnuma: The Fable, Bhaiyya Ji, Silence 2: The Night Owl Bar Shootout and others.
“A police officer, or, let’s say, Tukaram , is appointed to do a certain job. When he performs his duties with complete honesty and dedication, people find it surprising that he starts going viral. He added, “This simply means that when someone is performing their duty with complete honesty, he becomes a celebrity. And that itself tells us where we, as a society, have reached. Meanwhile, Manoj is set to be seen in Last Man in Tower, directed by Ben Rekhi and produced by Rana Daggubati’s Spirit Media. The film is based on Aravind Adiga’s novel of the same name and also features Divya Dutta and Boman Irani.
Have you realised this?” the actor said.
