Focuses on finding the right film producer

Taking to her Instagram timeline, the actress penned a lengthy post on recent developments and how it was important for one to continue to do their work sincerely.

She said, "I’ve been away from this space for a while because everything I am doing feels too banal in the face of miseries all around us. The world seems to be getting more and more unhinged. Collective insanity and mindless tragedies leave me questioning everything.

"Unable to sleep, and woke up to this thought that giving up is not an option. We all have something we’re meant to do, some way we’re meant to play our part. The madness doesn’t change that; if anything, it makes it more urgent. Sometimes the most radical act is simply doing your work sincerely."

The actress further said, "For now, my mission is to find the right producing partner for my next film and tell a story that I think needs to be told. One drop at a time…what do you think?"

A week ago, on the occasion of the World Environment Day, the actress had raised her voice for platform-based workers. She had then said, "Happy Environment Day! As the climate crisis intensifies, gig workers face daily hazards from extreme heat or bitter cold or relentless rain. All this, often without compensation, breaks and protection. Let’s stand in solidarity with @gigwaindia and their call for CLIMATE HAZARD PAY #CoolDeliveries"

Her concern for gig workers shows she's not just about films but real issues affecting common people. More celebrities should use their platform like this. Waiting eagerly for her next project!

"One drop at a time" - what a beautiful way to put it! Change happens slowly but surely. As a film student, I look up to artists like Nandita who stay true to their vision despite challenges.

Her films make you think long after you leave the theater. But I hope her next project has better distribution - many of us in smaller towns never got to see Manto in theaters. Digital release please!

Love how she connects social issues with her art. But I wonder - shouldn't we also celebrate happy stories sometimes? The world needs hope as much as it needs awareness. Maybe her next film can balance both? 😊
