Manisha and Mani sir

  • IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,May 04 2011]

Mani Ratnam, popularly called as Mani sir by colleagues, has been described as her ‘only friend in Chennai’ by Manisha Koirala. Remember the actress and the director worked together in two films- ‘Bombay’ and ‘Uyire’.

“I will never forget Chennai and my only friend in the city, Mani Ratnam. I have lost touch with him after Dil Se (Uyire) and would like to speak with him. He is a nice gentleman,” she says.

On her re-entry in Kollywood with ‘Mappillai’, that too in a role with negative shades, the ‘Indian’ and ‘Baba’ heroine says, “It is a decision taken after considering various things. And I am happy with the response.”

She adds: “The mom-in-law character I played in ‘Mappillai’ is very powerful and already a popular one in Tamil Nadu. I believe I have done justice to the role. Acting with a young and fresh team was a nice experience.”
