It was a memorable experience to share the screen with someone of his caliber, whose every expression and gesture carries years of experience. He didn’t just guide me, he brought out the best in me by just subtle improvisations that transformed the entire scene making it so impactful. I remember, on the very first day of our shoot Manoj sahab became very hostile towards me”.

Manoj Sir lives his character and when he comes on the set he comes prepared to play it. That’s the magic of working with an artist like him. Every day on set was a masterclass, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the chance to learn from him firsthand”.
