Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Manto, which is helmed by actress-filmmaker Nandita Das, will be screened at the 62nd BFI London Film Festival. “Since Fire, my first film 22 years ago, I have shown my film at the London Film Festival. Over the years, many of my films have been screened there. I love the multicultural audience of London,” Nandita said in a statement to IANS. “BFI has had repeated screenings of Firaaq apart from showing at their festival. I am very much looking forward to taking Manto to the festival this October,” she added. The fest will go on from October 10 to 21.
