Springing back to the movies, Manisha Koirala is all set to a pivotal role in Rajkumar Hirani's next movie. The movie will portray the story of Sanjay Dutt.
The lead in the movie will be played by Ranbir Kapoor. Dia Mirza will play the role of Maanayata, Sonam Kapoor plays Sanjay's first wife Richa and the coming back to the actress, she will star as Dutt's late mother Nargis.
Quoting on the role she has got and how big fan she is of the actress, Manisha said “Who isn’t? And I’ve worked with Sanjay in a number of films, most of them forgettable. Hopefully, this time I will create some magic with Ranbir. I am a big admirer of his work. I’ve seen his rushes as Sanjay. No actor of his generation has the same passion to excel, to make every character real and memorable. I’ve been waiting to get to work with Ranbir. Now, I finally have that opportunity."
Is there any resemblance to the role given to Manisha as she had been suffering from cancer like that of the actress Nargis? Manisha commented "I don’t think Raju offered me the role just because I went through the same illness. That is no qualification. The fact that Raju saw me worthy of playing Nargisji means a lot to me.”
