Nawazuddin Siddiqui looks impressive as the leading man in ‘Manjhi – The Mountain Man’. Stating how he related to the role of Manjhi, Nawaz said, “A lot of things happen in your profession that you relate to your real life while playing a specific character. I had the passion and madness of acting, so that helped me. I had been struggling for 12-14 years but I was very passionate about it just like in the movie.” Director Ketan Mehta too adviced his leading man. Nawaz added, “I also got help from the director and the people of the village who spoke about him.”
