Mumbai (Maharashtra), Jun 27 (ANI): After ‘Dear Maya’, ‘Lust Stories’, Manisha Koirala will soon be seen in ‘Sanju’, where she will essay the role of Nargis. Both the actresses (Nargis Dutt and Manisha Koirala) have been victims of cancer. While talking about her work, at the promotional event of ‘Sanju’ in Mumbai, the actress said she was apprehensive about reliving the days she suffered from cancer. “Actually because of this reason I was very apprehensive about doing the role. I didn’t want to relive the days I was suffering from cancer, I was unsure if I can relive those memories or not. I am a fan of Rajkumar Hirani’s films, and he is making a film on my favourite co-star, I was very excited but again the fear of reliving those moments was quite strong,” said Manisha Koirala. “I spoke about this to sir (Rajkumar Hirani), he told me not to worry as the film does not revolve around that situation and we won’t dwell on it, so don’t worry about it,” she added.
