Her second directorial venture, Manto, based on the life and works of Saadat Hasan Manto, was screened on the second day of DLF. In this interview, conducted before the screening, she talks about her new film as well as her experience as an artist. This time you’ve come here with the movie Manto which you’ve directed. Manto talks about issues that I feel common to our entire subcontinent because it talks about identity—identity of nationality, religion, and how to go beyond that. I think Manto is a great inspiration as far as freedom of expression is concerned.
