Mirror had earlier reported (July 14) about Sidharth Malhotra and Manoj Bajpayee leaving for London for the on-going schedule of Neeraj Pandey’s Aiyaary. Now, we have learnt that veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah, who had earlier worked with the filmmaker on his 2008 directorial debut, A Wednesday, has reunited with him for his next which is inspired by real-life incidents involving two army officers.

A source close to the development told Mirror, “While Manoj Bajpayee and Sidharth Malhotra play mentor-protégé, Naseer plays the whistle-blower. His role had been kept under wraps so far. He has already shot his portions in Mumbai and isn’t part of the London schedule that goes on till the month end.”

Next up, the leading men of the Shital Bhatia and Neeraj Pandey production will head to Oman in August. The film’s first schedule was canned in Gulmarg and Pahalgam, followed by a three-week schedule in Delhi.
