Manisha Koirala Opens Up About Playing Ranbir Kapoor's Mother In Sanjay Dutt Biopic!
Manisha Koirala opened up about her role in playing Ranbir Kapoor's mother in Sanjay Dutt's biopic & said that she was waiting for an opportunity as big as this from a long time.
For the first time in her film career, Manisha Koirala is all set to play the role of a mother in Sanjay Dutt's biopic and would be playing the role of Nargis, Sanjay Dutt's mother. When asked if she is a fan of the late actress, Manisha quipped, "Who isn't? And I've worked with Sanjay in a number of films, most of them forgettable," she laughs, adding,
"Hopefully,
this
time
I
will
create
some
magic
with
Ranbir.
I
am
a
big
admirer
of
his
work.
I've
seen
his
rushes
as
Sanjay.
No
actor
of
his
generation
has
the
same
passion
to
excel,
to
make
every
character
real
and
memorable.
I've
been
waiting
to
get
to
work
with
Ranbir.
Now,
I
finally
have
that
opportunity."
Both Nargis and Manisha have fought cancer and when asked if the illness would make a connection to play the role, Manisha shrugged it off by saying, "I don't think Raju (Hirani) offered me the role just because I went through the same illness. That is no qualification. The fact that Raju saw me worthy of playing Nargisji means a lot to me."
