About ‘Bhaiya Ji’
The film follows the journey of a retired and dreaded criminal who seeks revenge for the brutal murder of his younger brother. When a minor argument leads to tragedy, Bhaiya Ji returns from his peaceful retirement and confronts the powerful Gujjar responsible for his loss. Gathering his loyal allies, he begins a fierce campaign of vengeance that threatens to wipe out the entire criminal underworld.
Ahead of the film’s premiere on ZEE5, Bhaiya Ji aka Manoj Bajpayee shared, “Bhaiya Ji marks an important milestone in my career as it marks my 100th film, and I am truly honoured to bring this fascinating character to life. ‘Sirf Ek Banda Kaafi Hai’ garnered over 1 billion watch minutes on ZEE5 and now that ‘Bhaiya Ji’ continues the momentum, it is a testament to the audience’s love for storytelling.
This role is quite different from my usual portrayals, blending the gritty realism of the UP-Bihar heartland with grand style. It was a unique opportunity to explore a multi-faceted, larger-than-life personality that I believe will resonate with audiences. As we present ‘Bhaiya Ji’ to ZEE5 audiences worldwide, I am excited for them to see this new avatar and the intense narrative we have crafted. Hopefully we get as much love and support from the OTT audience as we received for the theatrical release,” Bajpayee added.
Manish Kalra, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5 said, “We are thrilled to bring ‘Bhaiya Ji’ to ZEE5, reuniting the makers of ‘Sirf Ek Banda Kaafi Hai’.

With ‘Sirf Ek Banda Kaafi Hai’ garnering over 1 billion watch minutes and now with ‘Bhaiya Ji’ continuing the momentum, we are confident of delivering high-impact content, Bhaiya Ji reinforces ZEE5’s commitment and further cements ZEE5’s position as the ultimate destination for cutting-edge entertainment.”
Following this, producer Vinod Bhanushali added, “Bhaiya Ji, produced by Manoj Bajpayee, is a desi-style action revenge drama that has captured the hearts of theatre audiences. Being his 100th film, the film offers a thrilling experience for fans. Now viewers can enjoy the thrill from the comfort of their homes on ZEE5, where Bhanushali Studios’ previous release Sirf Ek Banda Kaafi Hai with Manoj ji and Apoorva garnered over 1 billion minutes of watch time on the platform.”
