It can be deemed a professionally satiating time for actor Manuj Sharma Recently, he worked with Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan in Vikram Vedha and now he is all set to play a pivotal role in the upcoming film Phone Bhoot. The horror comedy stars Katrina Kaif, Ishaan Khatter and Siddhant Chaturvedi along with Jackie Shroff.

While Manuj has previously worked with director Gurmeet Singh and the banner Excel productions in Inside Edge and Bangistan, the invigorating experience was acting with Jackie. “I had never interacted with him or even spoken to him. I was always told by people that he is a very cool guy. His interviews used to be super fun to watch. When you work with your idols, you are often worried but he made me feel so comfortable,” he says.

Talking about working with the veteran actor, Manuj says, “Through the making I kept asking about his movies. How he cracked his scenes, his first movie, stories from the 90s. He would tell me things he learnt from Dev Anand sa’ab. When he shared all this, I knew I had found a bond with him that I will remember for life."
