Confirming the news to a leading daily, Hirani said, “Manisha is playing Nargisji. She's a wonderful person, extremely sweet.”
This is a very thought after decision taken by Hirani as Nargis played a pivotal role in Sanjay Dutt’s life. Apart from being his mother, she had a great influence on him and Sanjay was extremely close to her. She lost her life fighting cancer and her demise affected Sanjay Dutt in a big way. That’s why Manisha has a big responsibility on her shoulders.

But ask Hirani why he zeroed in for Manisha, he has a solid reason for it, “We were thinking of many actresses. And while Manisha is really pretty and a fantastic actress, my primary reason for taking her is that she's a cancer survivor and, having been through the journey herself, can identify with Nargisji's fight with the Big C. When we met, she told me a little about that journey.”
Well yes, Manisha is a cancer survivor. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012. She fought the disease for 3 years and by 2015 she was cancer-free.
Manisha Koirala was last seen in a Tamil film ‘Oru Melliya Koduwoich’ released in 2016. Her last Bollywood film was Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Bhoot Returns’ in 2012.
