Nawazuddin Siddiqui in a still from Manto
Acclaimed actress-filmmaker Nandita Das says actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui got into the character of late Urdu writer Saadat Hasan Manto for film "Manto" effortlessly, and has done justice to it.
"I always had Nawaz in mind while writing 'Manto'. He has many traits that are similar to Manto - a deep sensitivity and intensity, anger, and a dry sense of humour. These innate qualities in Nawaz helped him transition into Manto on screen quite effortlessly," Nandita said in a statement to IANS.
