Rajeev Masand: Manisha, you are one of the few actors who is actually here to actually watch films.
Manisha: Yes, I have just watched Jane’s (Jane Campion) film Holy Smoke. I have seen it before but it was great to sit and interact with her. There’s an Iranian film I’ll be watching in the evening.
Rajeev Masand: You have been to the Cannes Film Festival. They have modeled IFFI on the Cannes. How do you think we are doing?
Manisha: Honestly, we have a long way to go but the process is on as long as we don’t keep repeating our mistakes and we have ample opportunities that governments give. There shouldn’t be a clash with the government. It should be a collective force of Goa to make it an International place, which it has the capacity to do.
