Noted Hindi actor Manoj Bajpayee will be seen in Kollywood soon. If sources are to be believed, the actor may feature in Vishal's next film - "Samaran".

The actor, who has shot to prominence with his performances in films like "Satya", "Pinjar" and "Rajneeti", is currently shooting with the "Samaran" crew in Bangkok.

Directed by Thiru (who earlier made "Theeratha Vilayattu Pillai" with Vishal), the film stars Trisha and Sunaina as the female leads. Yuvan Shankar Raj is composing the music while "Ko" cinematographer Richard M Nathan handles the camera.

It may be noted that the director had expressed his desire to cast Arvind Swamy for the role, but the actor declined to make a comeback to acting.

Though none is ready to reveal the shade of Manoj's role, it is believe that it will be a powerful one. Meanwhile, the unit has also roped in Tollywood actor J D Chakravarthy, who was last seen in "Sarvam".
