Nawazuddin Siddiqui Elated About Government Decision To Honour Dashrath Manjhi Through Postal Stamps

Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who had wowed everyone with his portrayal as Dashrath Manjhi in Ketan Mehta‘s Manjhi-The Mountain Man, is on cloud nine nowadays.

The reason-it seems that Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has announced that special edition stamps would be released soon to honor Bihar’s mountain man Dashrath Manjhi. Speaking about the same, an excited Nawaz said, "I feel so honored to have been a part of this movie. It’s a great gesture from the government and I personally thank them to have bestow such a honor for a man like Dashrathji who single-handedly carved the future of his village in a small district in Bihar. I am lucky I got to play a part of this man who is a true hero in all sense."

Nawaz was paired opposite Radhika Apte in the film, which got a positive review across the industry.
