Sanjay Gupta may have broken up with Sanjay Dutt, but he seems to have found himself a fresh set of friends. One of his closest buddies these days is actor Manoj Bajpai. The actor is, whose career has not really moved ahead in the manner it should have, is experiencing a lot of relief these days following his friendship with Gupta.

A director actor relationship works out very well for both parties, but probably better for an actor. And it shows in Bajpai's case. The actor has received quite a boost in his career because of Gupta. The latter first cast him in Dus Kahaniyaan. Then there was Acid Factory and now there is his next called Blade. The film is expected to go on the floors by October. Besides Bajpai, the film will have three other heroes and one heroine. Rahul Bose has also been signed up for the project. The film is supposedly a thriller and will be directed by Rajeev Virani. Incidentally, Acid Factory is still in the making. Gupta has another film called Jazba, which is in the making. All his recent films have multiple heroes and heroines. And his recent films are no exception. Even Bajpai's wife Neha, has managed to revive her acting career due to Gupta, who has truly turned out to be a friend in need for the Bajpai's.
