Manto’s humanism transcends discrimination, says Nandita Das over Manto

Nandita Das recently made news because of her latest film ‘Manto’ that was also screened at the Cannes Film Festival. Manto is a film based on stories by the celebrated writer Saadat Hasan Manto. Saadat was always a topic of discussion and interest for the fraternity as well as the media as his writings were expressions of human desire, obscenity and needs. Manto’s release was a jackpot for its star cast including Nandita Das and Nawazuddin Siddiqui as it made a release around a time where Manto’s work already made rounds at the discussion table.
