Actress, writer and now director Nandita Das has found her Manto in Irrfan Khan. She says in an article in Mumbai Mirror, ?Irrfan fits the role to the T as he speaks fluent Urdu, looks a lot like Manto and, above all, is a wonderful actor. He has read a lot of Manto himself and is influenced by him. He once confided in me, 'Manto karne ke liye to koi qabar se bhi uth ke aa jae,'" says Nandita who is co-writing the script of the film with Mir Ali Hussain and the story will focus on seven years of the writer's life before and after the Partition.
