Mumbai: Bollywood actress Saiee Manjrekar, famous for her roles in hits like Dabangg 3 and Major, recently opened up about what sets India’s film industries apart. The rising star, who has already shone in Hindi cinema and South Indian films, shared her thoughts on juggling projects across different regional movie worlds. For Saiee, it’s all about great stories and exciting team-ups that break language barriers.
In a candid chat, Saiee emphasized that cinema knows no borders. "I believe cinema has no language—it’s the story and how it connects with people that truly matters," she said. Right now, she’s diving deep into her Bollywood journey and South Indian projects, but she’s keen on a special Marathi film down the line. "As long as the script thrills me and the director has a clear vision, I’m game to explore any industry," she added. This openness highlights her passion for pan-Indian cinema and working across Hindi films, South movies, and more.
Comparing Bollywood and the South Indian film industry, Saiee pointed out their unique vibes. Having worked in both, she loves how Bollywood brings larger-than-life emotions and grand storytelling to the screen. On the other hand, the South industry impresses her with its strict discipline and huge respect for the craft. "Both have shaped me in amazing ways, and I’m lucky to be part of them. I just want to grab the best from each and grow with every new project," she shared. Her views on regional cinema differences come straight from home—thanks to her dad, acclaimed actor and director Mahesh Manjrekar, who’s starred in films across eight Indian languages. His career has shown her how powerful stories can cross all boundaries.
Shifting gears to her personal life, Saiee took a nostalgic trip back to her childhood Ganpati celebrations. She revealed that the 10-day Ganeshotsav festival is something she eagerly waits for every year. And what’s her absolute favorite part? The mouthwatering festival food, of course! As fans buzz about her insights into Indian film industries and festival joys, keep an eye out for Saiee’s upcoming movies that promise more exciting roles in Bollywood and beyond.
