Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor says he chose to do a cameo in
Nandita Das' film "Manto" just because he has "respect and admiration" for the
actress-filmmaker.
"I have done one scene in Nandita Das' film 'Manto' in
a cameo. Just for the respect and admiration I have for her," Rishi tweeted on
Sunday.
The 65-year-old actor's comments come after he said in an
interview that working in "Manto" was a "wrong" call.
"Some mischief
monger has tried to create a wedge between her and me. Absolutely untrue! I
support the film and wish her all the best at Cannes Film Festival," he tweeted.
"Manto" is a historical period drama film about the controversial writer
Saadat Hasan Manto who is known for his writings around the partition of India
and Pakistan.
It is the only Indian film in Un Certain Regard category of
the Cannes Film Festival, to be held from May 8-19.
The film also stars
Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Rasika Dugal and Tahir Raj Bhasin.
