Manjari Phadnis is literally on cloud nine. Having received rave reviews for her performance in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na the actress says that her life has changed completely.
“Though I was not here during the release of Jaane Tu.. I am getting calls and roles that I never hoped I would get to do.”

Meanwhile Manjiri is busy with a slew of film down South and is looking forward to her next venture with none other than Rajat Kapoor titled I am 24 directed by Sourabh Shukla. “I play a 24 year old in the film. Rajat Kapoor and I befriend each other on the internet and we become Chat friends. He is balding and is 42 years of age and he lies to me that he is 24. How life changes after that is what the film is all about.”

Right now the actress has no other film on the anvil. “I am waiting for the right project. I am going through scripts. I am a student of Shiamak Davar’s dancing school and would love to show this side of my talent too. I have a lot of Tamil Films on hand which I am busy completing I am doing a Tamil film titled Muthira. It is also a Vikram Bhatt film directed by a famous cinematographer called Jeeva. Apart from this, I am also acting in an untitled Telugu film opposite Naresh.

Apart from keeping herself busy with south ventures the actress spends her time sketching and painting portraits of friends. “It is a kind of stress buster. When I am not busy I love painting and sketching. I am also catching up on a lot of reading. Right now I am reading Erich Sehgals’ Doctors” informs Manjari.

Her ‘What’s That’ act did get her all the attention in Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na. However, with a blockbuster to her name, Manjari Fadnis is now moving on and looking forward to her upcoming assignments. The first of them which would be unveiled for audiences any time now is a music video for which she shot some time back.

“This is a beautiful ’sufi’ number which is sung by Krishna (of ‘Maula Mere’ - Chak De India and ‘Main Jahaan Rahoon’ - Namastey London) fame. He has cut an album and a music video has been made for one of the songs. It is a good platform for me as I am seen in Indian costumes. Also, since the video revolves around the character I enact, it does give me good visibility”, informs Manjari who made her debut as a school girl in Rok Sako To Rok Lo four years back.
“It seems like such a long time back. However, from here on I believe the journey should get into a fast track mode”, beams Manjari whose next film release would be I Am 24 where she faces the camera along with the likes of Rajat Kapoor, Ranvir Shorey, Neha Dhupia, Vijay Raaz, “It is a breezy entertainer and the comedy there is first of it’s kinds as well. It was a riot shooting for the film.”

Talking about her newfound success, Manjari goes on to exclaim, “I missed all the euphoria created by Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na on its release. I was stationed in Bangkok and the moment I landed in Mumbai, I could sense people looking at me strangely. Soon a young girl passed by me and said ‘Hi Meghna’ with a sweet smile. This is when I realized that the film and my character (Meghna) had caught on with people. Congratulatory calls have been coming in ever since then which by it’s sheer quantum, to be honest, is a first as I didn’t experience anything like that with Rok Sako To Rok Lo or Mumbai Salsa.

How about her now-famous ‘What’s That’ act? One hears that it is getting popular as well in the campus circuit. “And also the ‘Pappu Dance’”, laughs Manjari, “So what if I couldn’t be a part of the dance sequence, I still had a riot watching it over and over again. I am proud of the film and happy that youngsters have absorbed the flavor of the film so well. Things like ‘What’s That’, ‘Pappu Dance’ and the cool costumes that we all had worn aren’t always made with a thought; they just get made! I am happy that Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na is turning out to be a trendsetter of sorts.”
