Earlier this week, Das said that she was ‘disappointed’ that the film was not going to be released in Pakistan.

But the information minister said he would look into the matter now and provide all sorts of help after activists from Pakistan wrote an open letter to Prime Minister Imran Khan in favour of the film.

She also criticized those comparing Nawazuddin Siddique’s performance with Sarmad Khoosat's.


“The last thing we want to do to #Manto and his legacy is to make it India vs Pakistan or Indian Manto vs Pakistani Manto or Sarmad Khoosat Official vs Nawazuddin Siddiqui. In fact I feel there should be many Mantos. More the merrier! I am very happy that two films, featuring different times in his life have come to us. I am sure, so is Sarmad.”



And Sarmad Khoosat responded too
