  It is already mentioned that Nandita Das has been honoured to grace her presence to the Cannes Film Festival in 2005 and 2013 years.

  

  She is looking forward to raise funds for the biopic of Sadat Hasan Manto who happens to be literary icon.

  Nandita said, "I want it to be a truly global film so I have more creative freedom".

  She told, "But I have done an overview and created a photo essay so I can share visuals and information about the project. And the response has been amazing. I know the journey won't be completed in a day and I've been here just two days but I'd like to start shooting by early next year if I can arrange for the funds".

  She pointed out, "There's a lot of glam and razzmatazz here, plenty of photo opportunities. But there's also space for good cinema and a respect for directors, who are the real stars".

  She concluded, "I want a Pakistani producer too since like India, Pakistan too claims Manto as its own."So this could become a true Indo-Pak collaboration".
