After entertaining audiences in films like 'Singh Is Kinng' and comic TV series like 'Office Office', Manoj Pahwa is all set to debut in Punjabi film industry. Playing the role of Bhuchi Badmash in the underproduction film, Heer & Hero, Manoj says he was sold to the idea of playing this character, which is why he agreed for a Punjabi film. ���������I have my roots in Punjab, even though I was raised in Delhi, my father came from Pakistan and stayed in Punjab in India.
That���������s why I am so conversant in Punjabi also,��������� says Manoj who first came in contact with the film���������s producer when Manoj was shooting for Pankaj Kapoor���������s
Mausam around Chandigarh.
Talking about his role in
Heer & Hero, Manoj says he is playing the role of a contract killer called
Bhuchi Badmash. ���������There is no typical kind of comedy, which is fast becoming the trademark of Punjabi films, in this film. The comedy here is quite situational and different.���������
