Nandita Das

Director Hansal Mehta, whose project on noted writer Sadat Hasan Manto could not take off, is looking forward to see how Nandita Das has approached the author's life. Mehta had started working on the script with actor Rajkummar Rao but the director could not find producers for the movie and eventually moved on to "Aligarh". Das' version features Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Manto and focuses on his years in Mumbai.
