Manisha Koirala is immensely popular in Tamil cinema thanks to Mani Ratnam, who cast her in the film Bombay (1995), which turned out to be a breakthrough in her career. The movie was a pan-Indian hit back in the 90s. She again acted in Ratnam’s Dil Se (1998), which had Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role. Recently, Koirala met her mentor at the preview of Ponniyin Selvan 2, and the actor took to Instagram to share a picture with the director.
Sharing the picture, she wrote, “Such humble man Maniratnam sir is and such a great filmmaker! I remember working with him was intense but so fulfilling. We artists long to work with directors who push our limits and help us to excel. He always tries to do things differently! My first day of shooting for Bombay is so fresh in my mind.”
The actor added, “It felt home meeting him and Suhasinihasan ji (who is an accomplished actress herself. In fact she had helped me with Hamahama song), for the preview of his latest film PS 2! His movies have mesmerised people across the globe. Each of his films is a masterpiece!! From Anjali to PS 2, we just love his films !! Once again… Sir, you are a treasure! My love to the entire team… all the actors who performed brilliantly and all the technicians have excelled in this film. Huge congratulations.”
Manisha Koirala, a cancer survivor, took a break in 2012 for her treatment and made her comeback in 2015 with Chehere: A Modern Day Classic. She later acted in films like Dear Maya, Lust Stories, and Sanju. She was last seen in Shehzada, the Hindi remake of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo.
Meanwhile, Ponniyin Selvan 2 is turning out to be a blockbuster and has already crossed the Rs 100-crore mark at the global box office in three days. The film has also received critical acclaim, but the creative liberty Mani had taken has disappointed ardent fans of the books.
