Manisha Koirala opens up about her role opposite Sanjay Dutt in Prassthanam

19 Sep 2019

In the Sanjay Dutt bio-pic Sanju Manisha Koirala had played Sanjay Dutt s mother. But Sanjay Dutt was played by Ranbir Kapoor.So Manisha says it didnt feel weird playing his wife in Prassthanam , the Hindi remake of the Telugu blockbuster which opens this week. And Manisha clarifies, In Sanju I didnt play Sanjay Dutts mother. I played the great Nargis Dutt who just happened to be Sanjay Dutts mother. That was my big high, and the reason I agreed to do the role. She describes Dutt as one of her favourite co-stars. Weve done quite a few films together in the past like Yalgaar, Khauff and Mehbooba.We share a fantastic rapport. And even if we look at Manishas role in Sanju as that of Sanjay Dutts mother, Manisha is no stranger to pushing the relational envelope. In the year 1996 she played Nana Patekar s daughter in Sanjay Leela Bhansali s Khamoshi The Musical , and then his wife in Agni Sakshi during the same year. Thats okay, Manisha laughs. Its only acting.
