First-look posters of Manoj Bajpayee from the upcoming film Governor: The Silent Saviour was dropped by the makers on Thursday to mark the actor’s 57th birthday.
Slated to hit theatres on June 12, the film marks the first collaboration between Bajpayee and producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah, known for backing the controversial The Kerala Story franchise.

Directed by Chinmay Mandlekar, the poster shows the back profile of Bajpayee’s character walking down a corridor with a suitcase in hand. “If I fail… India fails,” the tagline reads.
Another poster features a green chair with the lines “India is on the verge of bankruptcy” and “Yeh sirf kursi nahi… zimmedaari hai” written across it.
The film will also feature actress Adah Sharma, who played the lead role in Shah’s 2023 film The Kerala Story.
Governor: The Silent Saviour is produced by Aashin A. Shah alongside Vipul Amrutlal Shah. It is penned by Suvendu Bhattacharyjee, Saurabh Bharat, Ravi Asrani and Shah, and features music by Amit Trivedi. The lyrics are penned by Javed Akhtar.
