Mani Ratnam’s directorial Bombay was a blockbuster, and Manisha was the leading lady in the film. However, it was quite shocking to know that the actress wasn’t really sure about the film initially, and it was cinematographer Ashok Mehta who gave her a reality check and told her she would be an idiot if she refused this film.
While speaking to YouTube channel India O2, Manisha Koirala revealed that many people had warned her against doing the movie Bombay, which is now regarded as a Hindi cinema classic. She said, “I didn’t want to do Bombay, people had warned me against doing the role of a mother, but cinematographer Ashok Mehta ‘fired’ at me saying ‘do you know the level of good work Mani Ratnam has done? You are an idiot if you refuse his film.’ That jolted me, and mom and me went to Chennai, and did a look test. I am really happy I did Bombay.”
