Here's why Manisha Koirala was ANXIOUS to play Nargis Dutt's role

After a brief period of time, Manisha Koirala will be returning to the silver screens in Sanjay Dutt's biopic titled 'Sanju'. Koirala is all set to play Sanjay's mother Nargis Dutt in the film and after watching the trailer, we are sure she has given a terrific performance!

For the uninitiated, Nargis had lost her life due to cancer and Manisha too is a cancer survivor. Koirala was diagnosed with ovary cancer and she fought it. The actress is in good health as of now and is all set to deliver a stellar act.

In a recent conversation with Bollywood Life, Manisha Koirala was asked how she said a yes to this film. To which she revealed, "I was a little apprehensive because of the health factor. The health history of Nargis Dutt ji and mine. I wasn't sure if I could be in that frame of mind, or in that space, to do justice. So I was a bit apprehensive initially. I came here to meet Raj sir (Rajkumar Hirani). When he narrated me the entire thing showed me the rushes that's when I agreed to do it".
