Manoj Joshi, an actor with more than thirty years of experience in Indian cinema and television, is starring in his first main role in the upcoming movie “The UP Files.” With Kuldeep Umraosingh Ostwal producing and Neeraj Sahai directing, “The UP Files” released in theatres on July 26, 2024.
Manoj Joshi and Union Minister Ramdas Athawale attended a special Mumbai screening of the movie. After seeing the movie, the Union Minister gave it a positive review. “I watched this movie, and it’s excellent,” he declared. It portrays Uttar Pradesh as it really is. Manoj Joshi gave an excellent performance. Although there had been a noticeable rise in lawlessness in Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath made considerable efforts to end crime as Chief Minister. This movie makes the point that all citizens should abide by Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar’s constitution. I’d want to congratulate Manoj Joshi, who plays the lead role, the director, the producer, and the whole cast and crew of “The UP Files.”
Manoj Joshi shared, “In this film, there is a dialogue that goes, ‘Baba Saheb Ambedkar ke samvidhan ki kadar,na ek inch idhar na ek inch udhar.’ It’s a very powerful dialogue. The film showcases how UP’s CM Yogi Adityanath is continuously striving to improve the state, and his efforts are leading Uttar Pradesh towards a better future.”
Having worked in the entertainment industry since 1991, Manoj Joshi has essayed his first lead role in his career. Speaking enthusiastically, he said, “There is no greater joy for an actor than to get the opportunity to play a lead role. I can’t express in words how grateful I am to the producer and director for giving me this role because the entire film rests on my shoulders. I want people from every state to watch ‘The UP Files.’ The writer of this film is no longer with us, but he wrote an excellent screenplay and dialogues.”
