Manisha Rani On Follower-Based Casting:

In a recent interview with Telly Chakkar, Manisha said, “I don't think so, mujhe lagta hai ki agar koi influencer ko le bhi le followers ke dum pe, lekin agar uski acting main dam hi nhi rahega to use kaam hi nhi milega (I don't think so, I feel that even if someone casts an influencer based on their followers, but if they don't have acting skills, then they will not get any work)."

"They Must Have Some Talent..."

“And influencer bhi aj ek nhi hai hazaro hai, agar unme se kisi ko acting ka offer mil raha hai to usme kuch talent hoga (Today, there is not just one influencer; there are thousands of them. If a few of them are getting an offer for acting, then they must have some talent)," she added.
