Manoj Bajpayee is collaborating with Titli (2014) director Kanu Behl for Despatch. The investigative thriller, which will release digitally, is set in the world of crime journalism. Bajpayee plays a character who finds himself sucked into the murky underbelly of business and crime.

"As an actor, I want to be a part of stories that I want to tell and that deserve to be told. 'Despatch' is one such film. With the digital age, our stories can now reach and be accessed by viewers across the globe and I’m confident this film will have many takers because it is relevant to our times. I am looking forward to collaborating with Kanu Behl who is well versed with the changing times and has total control on his craft of storytelling," Bajpayee said in a statement.
