en Bollywood News Nawazuddin Siddiqui to play lead in Nandita Das’ Manto

While Cannes proved to be yet another memorable experience for the popular actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, he will soon be gearing up for several of his upcoming projects. One amongst them is Nandita Das' Manto.

Though earlier we had reported that it was Irrfan Khan who was supposed to play the role, it seems that the actress turned filmmaker Nandita Das changed her mind regarding the same. On the other hand, Nawaz is equally excited to play the role. Claiming it to be an interesting challenge, the actor has already completed the costume trials for the period drama that will be set in the 40s and 50s.
