Actress Manisha Koirala, who is making
her comeback with the forthcoming film "Dear Maya", says after
completing its promotion, she would like to enjoy some time in the
mountains.
"I like to know things beyond films. After promoting this film, I am
going to take a vacation in the mountains. I like to be with nature. I
equally get excited when I talk for hours with saints and fakirs.
"I have a curious mind to understand different people and ideas,
explore life and travel. I feel most comfortable in these situations,"
Manisha said on Monday during a discussion on her life and career with
director Imtiaz Ali and Sunaina Bhatnagar, who has helmed "Dear Maya".
Talking about the film, she said: "The script was brilliant. For a long
time, I was waiting for a good script. I had decided that... I would
like to explore something new, meaningful and different."
"The story of the film had a beautiful flow, and in the end, the film
has feel good factor. When Sunaina narrated the script to me... that
time only, I realized that she has the capacity to make this film."
Manisha, known for 1990s films like "Bombay" and "Khamoshi: The
Musical", also spoke about the current scenario of the film industry.
She said: "Now things have changed a lot for the better. Today, the
level of professionalism, expectations and demands from actors have
increased. Today, actors not only have to perform better, but at the
same time they have become calculated in terms of behaviour,
communication and public appearance. It has become a responsibility."
"Those days, actors used to work in two to three shifts in one day and
that used to make them complacent. Now the quality of films has
improved. Realism has taken more space than melodrama and I am loving
this phase because the kind of films that we are making is absolutely
amazing."
Talking about working with superstar Shah Rukh Khan in "Dil Se..", she
said: "Shah Rukh has been the same. He is full of energy and
enthusiasm. He was a great guy to work with. During 'Dil Se..', he was
very protective about me and used to give a lot of advice because he
probably felt that I am not getting it right."
Manisha also said that she had a great time working with filmmaker
Vidhu Vinod Chopra ("1942: A Love Story"), Mani Ratnam ("Dil Se..") and
Sanjay Leela Bhansali ("Khamoshi: The Musical").
