Manisha Koirala says it was ‘tough’ on her ego to play Kartik Aaryan’s mother in Shehzada: ‘It hurts you but…’

Now, Manisha says she is giving her all to whatever role is being offered to her. But she says she does not shy away from accepting the roles that are being offered as when one gets older, one learns to be at the periphery than the centre.

Directed by Rohit Dhawan and also starring Kriti Sanon, Shehzada failed miserably at the ticket counters. Even the magic of Kartik Aaryan couldn’t save the film. Shehzada was the official Hindi remake of Allu Arjun’s Telugu film Ala Vaikunthapuramulu.

Manisha Koirala ruled the silver screen in films like 1942: A Love Story, Bombay and Company. She once again returned to the screen in the 2018 Netflix anthology Lust Stories. In the same year, she also featured in the Sanjay Dutt biopic as Nargis Dutt. Since then she starred in various projects including Bun Maska and Prassthanam.

Next, Manisha Koirala will be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming series Heeramandi. The actor-director duo earlier gave a hit in Khamoshi: The Musical. Heeramandi also stars Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sharmin Segal, and Sanjeeda Sheikh.
