Bollywood character actor Manoj Bajpayee next is `Dial 100.` The trailer of the film was released on 20th July. Manoj plays Nikhil Sood, an emergency shift operator. Trailer homes in on Nikhil starting his shift in the control room just like any other day. He ends up taking a call that gives him the creeps. As Nikhil struggles to make sense of the strange nature of the call, he finds himself right in the middle of a sticky situation. It is a high stake life-and-death situation as his wife and son have been taken hostage. The hostage taker is a troubled woman, played by Neena Gupta, who seems to be acting out of deep despair. Neena`s character Seema has lost her child and she, for some reason, holds the call operator responsible for her personal tragedy. The trailer suggests a plot setup similar to Halle Berry`s 2013 physiological thriller `The Call.` Bajpayee`s performance looks promising but is similar to what he did in `The Family Man.` Gupta might bring some new elements to the film. Sakshi Tanwar plays the wife in trouble. The storyline is interesting and has the potential to keep the audience hooked. `Dial 100` is set to premiere on 6th August on OTT platform ZEE5.
