- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,January 05 2023]
Seasoned actress Manisha Koirala is all set to deliver an amazing performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's much anticipated web show 'Heeramandi'. Previously Manisha worked with Bhansali in his 1996 debut film 'Khamoshi' which also starred Salman Khan and Nana Patekar and this is her first project with the filmmaker since then.
In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Manisha opened up about what it was like to get back with Bhansali after all these years. She stated, Sanjay has grown a lot. He's done so many great projects since Khamoshi. During Khamoshi, when I met him first I met him, he was an assistant to Vidhu Vinod Chopra and we became friends. He was a very sweet, humble and quiet person. Today, he is a big director, but each film that he has made is unique and extremely beautiful. I've been really proud of the quality of work that he has done. The amount of hard work he does, the kind of talent he has for detailing and the amount of hard work that he puts in - he inspires his entire unit to do their best. He has evolved a lot from Khamoshi to now. He is a very good record for any actress.
Apart from this, Manisha will also be seen in Kartik Aaryan starrer 'Shehzada'. Talking about the same, she said, It was excellent, very good. I believe in doing different genres of films and Heeramandi is totally different from Shehzada. Actually, I had signed Shehzada earlier and it is a big commercial set up and it's releasing in February. It has shaped up pretty well. So, I'm really looking forward for the release.
She concluded by saying, I think Kartik Aaryan is a very talented, hard-working and humble person. He understands the character and brings out something new. I also like the choice of films that he has made. He has a very bright future in the industry.
