Manoj was all praise for Rishab Shetty’s Kantara, Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal, Yami Gautam’s Article 370, apart from Ram Charan and Jr NTR’s RRR as the films he found ‘entertaining and original’.
Talking to the website at an event, he said, “Mujhe Kantara bahut acchi lagi. Kantara mujhe uss karan se bhi achhi lagi ki wahan ke ritual, wahan ka jo faith, aur waha se jo hai ek badiya mainstream film banayi. Kantara mere liye reference point hai. (I liked Kantara a lot because of its rituals, faith and how it was still mainstream. It is a reference point for me.)”
He also added that he found SS Rajamouli’s RRR, Article 370 and Animal good for similar reasons. “Mujhe RRR bhi acchi lagi thi mainstream films mein. dhar jo film dekhi maine, jaise Article 370 dekhi maine ya fir Animal dekhi. Acchi films hai, matlab entertaining hain. Original to aapko rakhna padega, kahaani aapki original rehni hai. Kuch nayi kahaani aapko bolni hai. (The films I watched here like Article 370, Animal have been entertaining and good. You have to keep your films and stories original for them to work)”
