The trailer of Viacom18 Motion Pictures’ Manjhi - The Mountain Man gives us a glimpse into what could turn out to be an unconventional masterpiece. Based on the life of Dashrath Manjhi of Gaya, Bihar, this Ketan Mehta film is a love story set against an unforgiving mountain. Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Radhika Apte are the perfect casting call for this story of a man who carves a path through a mountain with only a hammer and chisel.
Nawazuddin transitions from being a devoted husband to a crazy mountain man who literally breaks down a beast of a mountain, stone by stone. The story, the actors, the dialogues are powerful and we just can’t wait to catch this one on the big screen. Luckily the wait is short and the film releases on August 21st.
