By Anil Merani: Manit Joura makes his television return after Kundali Bhagya, playing a strong character in Mukta Dhond’s show Mannat, which stars Adnan and Ayesha Singh.
Manit refused to talk about the role, saying, “ Why dont u watch it when it unfolds on Colors TV?”
Manit was full of praise for Mukta ji. “We are collaborating again after a seven-year hiatus. “Mam wanted me to work with her earlier as well. Sadly, the death of my father put paid to any possibility. “
“Now that I am back, associating with Muktaji is just what the doctor ordered
I am happy to note that I might have done something right, that I am getting yet another chance
Mam is always there to extend help. An actor must rely on numerous factors.( A good writer, a good editor, a good director, a good story, a good creative, a good cameraman. There is nothing in our hands. We just want to be as honest as we can with our character. That’s what I have been doing for the last 18.
I did not dwell too much on the specifics of the character. When mam met me, she assured me it was good , and that is what I need,” added he.
Manit, who has worked in all mediums—TV ( Khamoshiyan and Prem Bandhan), film( Band Baaja Baaraat Falsafa), and web( Test Case and Baarish), says they all have their pluses and minuses. “While I love cinema, which makes you immortal, there you have to sacrifice for the overall picture. I recently had a film for which a significant portion of my work was cut. However, as the director explained, it needed to be the right length.”
He goes on ,” TV, on the other hand, makes you world famous. The web provides you with a space to express your talent, as it offers a longer format,” says Manit, who is also shooting a festival film
In closing, Manit, who is currently in Punjab, wants everyone to contribute to fighting the ravaging floods. Luckily, our Mohali farm is not much damaged. Things are much worse further inland. I hope that the government provides more aggressive help; the state needs it “
