"All films today use VFX and the war sequences in our film will also require to be digitally enhanced. It is going to be visually rich, highly dramatic film," says director Ketan Mehta
"I was fascinated with the story for a long time. It has a wonderful layer of satire and human drama to it. Pankaj is an incredible performer, and with Vinay Pathak as Manto, it was a lethal combination," said Ketan Mehta
"We are trying to get Kangana Ranaut to play one of the stages of Begum Akhtar in the film," Anup Jalota said when asked about the female lead of the film. "We have grown up listening to and idolising Begum Akhtar. Associating with Rita Ganguly, who knew her personally, is a real blessing," he added
Manjhi - The Mountain Man is a biopic on Dashrath Manjhi, a resident of Gehlaur village in Gaya district. The "Mountain Man", as he was fondly called, had single-handedly cut through a hill to make a road for his village
Directed by Ketan Mehta, Manjhi-The Mountain Man also features Radhika Apte apart from Nawazuddin Siddiqui
"Even Nawazuddin has broken a mountain in his life. A man who has halied from a small village and established his position in Bollywood is like breaking a mountain for 15 years to reach this level," said Ketan Mehta
"The response has been overwhelming. Nawaz is being liked immensely," said Ketan Mehta
"Making Manjhi-The Mountain Man was like making a mountain," said Ketan Mehta
"The process of casting is on and we will be making an announcement soon," said Ketan Mehta
