ManjariÂs ÂAamir Connection!
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,March 23 2011]
Actress Manjari Fadnis got a dream debut opposite Imraan Khan in the Aamir Khan produced ÂJaane Tu Ya Jaane NaÂ, but we hear that her connection with Aamir doesnÂt end there.
The story goes that Aamir was quite impressed with her short but impactful role that he recommended her to good friend Satyajit Bhatkal (Lagaan production team member) for his debut film, DisneyÂs ÂZokkomonÂ!
Satyajit Bhatkal, who is the author of ÂSpirit of Lagaan and National Award winning director of short film ÂChale Chalo produced by Aamir Khan, was hunting around for a female lead for his Bollywood debut, when Aamir happened to tell him about Manjari!
The pretty actress plays the lead in SatyajitÂs debut action adventure film with Darsheel Safary and Anupam Kher.
Also what is uncanny is that ManjariÂs character in ÂZokkomonÂ, where she plays a mentor and guide to an orphaned Darsheel and helps him in his journey, is very similar to AamirÂs role in Taare Zameen Par .
With a recommendation from Aamir Khan himself, looks like Manjari Fadnis is definitely an actress to watch out for!
