Neeraj Pandey's 'Aiyaary' brings back Naseeruddin Shah in his iconic common man avatar from 'A Wednesday'. After winning our hearts with his brilliant portrayal of a common man in Neeraj Pandey's 'A Wednesday', the filmmaker is all set to revive the infamous character in his upcoming espionage thriller 'Aiyaary'. Naseeruddin Shah's character in 'Aiyaary' will be Neeraj Pandey's ode to the common man. A glimpse of which was seen in the trailer where Naseeruddin says, "Garib Admi ko na ungli nahi karneka".


'Aiyaary' will mark the second collaboration of the veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah and prolific filmmaker Neeraj Pandey.
