Check Out Manto’s World Coming Alive
#NawazuddinSiddiqui unveils the making of #Manto along with confirmation that a song, Nagri Nagri, will be out soon from the film!
Actor Nawazuddin took to his social media profile and shared the making video of the film. He wrote, “Here's how Manto's world came to life...Travel back to the 1940s with Nagri Nagri, song coming soon! @mantofilm @Viacom18Movies @HPIndia #FilmStoc @nanditadas @RasikaDugal @TahirRajBhasin @gurdasmaan @jatishvarma @SameerDixxit @MagicIfFilms #Manto”
In the video, Nandita Das talks about creating the world of Manto, which was the most challenging and daunting task. She is seen saying, “Art Direction for a film like this is extremely important...because till you don’t transport the audience to that context and make them believe that you’re in that time (1940)...I didn’t want any aspect of the film to overshadow the story or journey with the character”
The film follows the most tumultuous four years in the life of Manto and that of the two countries he inhabits – India and Pakistan. In Bombay’s seedy-shiny film world, Manto and his stories are widely read and accepted. But as sectarian violence engulfs the nation, Manto makes the difficult choice of leaving his beloved Bombay.
In Lahore, he finds himself bereft of friends and unable to find takers for his writings. His increasing alcoholism leads him into a downward spiral. Through all of this, he continues to write prolifically, without dilution. This is the tale of two emerging nations, two faltering cities, and one man who tries to make sense of it all.

He said, “I am excited about the Manto. I haven’t seen the film so I will watch it for the first time. My experience on the film was great, as I didn’t have to do a lot, because our lady Manto (Nandita Das) has done everything for us. She told us what to do and we did it”
Talking about preparing for the role, Nawaz added, “As an actor, I prepared same as every role but the actual preparation was done by Nandita Das. She had prepared for Manto for many years. About his anger, the way he walked and looked, she had done in-depth research about the poet, which helped me as an actor to portray Manto”
Manto director Nandita Das said, “Nawazuddin Siddiqui immersed into the role all the way, he is a lot like Manto. His anger, thinking, humor, arrogance and a little bit of sensitivity, a lot of things are in common in Nawaz and Manto. He immersed himself in the character very smoothly. He was so immersed in the character that he called me and told me that he won’t be able to do any other role, as he is completely involved into Manto”
Actor Rasika Duggal, who plays the role of Manto's wife Safia, also shared her experience working on the project. She said, “Definitely a very beautiful experience working on the film. It is very rare to find a project like this in your career as an actor, which I will cherish for a long time. Research on Safia was also done by Nandita.
