Writer returns to the screen!



Javed Akhtar will join his wife Shabana Azmi on screen in Nandita Das’s Manto biopic.


While Shabana will play Sanjay Dutt’s legendary grandmother Jaddanbai, her other half will make a cameo appearance as a college principal who defends Manto’s right to express himself. This will be the renowned writer’s first screen appearance since 2009’s Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye, and he’s a bit nervous to be facing the camera again. Don’t worry Javed saab, it’s just like riding a bike!
