The union minister announced earlier this week that a special edition stamp would be released soon to honour Manjhi along with former president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
&ldquo;I feel so honoured to have been a part of this movie. It&rsquo;s a great gesture from the government and I personally thank them to have bestowed such an honour on a man like Dashrath-ji who single handedly carved the future of his village in a small district in Bihar. I am lucky I got to play a part of this man who is a true hero,&rdquo; Nawazuddin said in a statement.
Directed by Ketan Mehta, the biopic also stars Radhika Apte.
