- TriviaIn November 2015, it was reported that Nandita Das had approached actor Irrfan Khan to play the leading role in her film Manto. Nandita said that, "Irrfan fits the role to the T as he speaks fluent Urdu, looks a lot like Manto and, above all, is a wonderful actor. He has read a lot of Manto himself and is influenced by him."

Featured review
Class movie which would take us to the pre and post Independence Day's of India. Well scripted and directed by Nandita man and as usual Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Manto stole the show. Other stars done justice to their respective roles especially Rasika as Safia (Manto's Wife). And the last scene of Toba Tek Singh was touching. The movies revolves around Manto's life at pre independence India at bombay and post independence Pakistan at Lahore. And at Lahore his artistic choices and words were challenged by censors and he had to face court and system ruling the state. We could clearly see a liberal writer fighting for his rights and also his life transformation from Bombay to Lahore.
