Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Rasika Dugal's first look from 'Manto' is out


Rasika Dugal is all geared up for playing the role of Safia Manto for her upcoming movie 'Manto' alongside Nawazuddin Siddiqui directed by the talented Nandita Das. The film is based on the life of a renowned writer and poet Sadat Hasan Manto.


In the photo, the onscreen Manto is trying to explain his views to his onscreen wife Safiya Manto.


Being directed by Nandita Das, "Manto" -- starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the title role -- is a biographical film based on the Urdu writer. Apart from emphasising on Manto and his writings, it will also reflect on his personal life in which his wife Safia played a strong role.

Over half of "Manto" has already been shot, and the team is likely to wrap up shooting by mid-June. For now, she is hoping that the weather in Cannes will be a pleasant break from the sultry heat in Mumbai.
