<p align="justify">He is reuniting with his frequent collaborator Neeraj Pandey for "Naam Shabana" and actor Manoj Bajpayee says the he can relate to the filmmaker as they both have similar work values.<br /><br />Bajpayee has worked with Pandey in his directorial venture "Special 26", his production "Saat Uchakkey" and a short film "Ouch". "Our values remain the same and we relate to each other. We know each other," Bajpayee told PTI when asked about his chemistry with Pandey.<br /><br />Calling the director a "genius", the actor says, "He has the ability to take a real story and put it out in a manner which is very appealing." Pandey's production "Naam Shabana" has been directed by Shivam Nair.<br /><br />"It is the story of a simple girl becoming extraordinary. It is a very unique, mainstream film," Bajpayee says of the film starring Taapsee Pannu as the protagonist. The film, which is a spin-off to Pandey's directorial venture "Baby", releases tomorrow. Apart from "Naam Shabana", Bajpayee will be also seen in "Sarkar 3", "Missing" and "Love Sonia."<br /><br />In his over 20-year career, Bjapayee has given notable performances in films like "Satya", "Kaun", "Shool", "Zubeidaa", "Pinjar", "Raajneeti", "Gangs of Wasseypur" and the recent "Aligarh".<br /><br />The actor says he has evolved as an actor over the years. "I have my own method but I don't have only one method. When you are evolving as a person, you also evolve as an actor. In acting, when your understanding abut the real person and life evolves, your method also evolves."<br /><br />When asked how he prepares himself for a role, the actor says, I look at script. I keep changing from film to film. During the shoot of some films, I don't talk to anybody. For some others I keep laughing.<br /><br />"For some films I go back to the script again and again, and for some (other scripts) I read for 6-7 times and then I don't go through the script any more." Bajpayee says his 1998 crime drama "Satya" changed filmmaking in Bollywood. "From Anurag Kashyap to Neeraj Pandey all were inspired by 'Satya' in a way. All are fantastic directors." </p>
