Manish Raisinghani, who has been a part of shows like Kahin Kissii Roz, Kahiin to Hoga, Kehna Hai Kuch Mujhko, Teen Bahuraniyaan, Sasural Simar Ka and Ek Shringaar-Swabhiman, among others, is busy donning the hat of a filmmaker.He is writing and producing films, TV and web and now verticals like Race Ka Badshah, Engineer Number 1, Jail Ka King and Jallad CEO and has even acted in them.He says, “Being an actor has given me a certain advantage. I understand and respect the itch in them that hunger to perform in those unexplored dimensions, to become something you’re not or you have never been. And when you meet actors who carry that same hunger, something special happens; you don’t have to pull performances out of them, you simply create the space where they can surprise you.“That’s also why I find myself going back to the same collaborators. Not out of comfort, but because they’re never comfortable, they’re always chasing more. Manish said, “As a creator, my job is simple: bring conviction, create trust, and raise the bar. The rest is taken care of when you’re surrounded by people who are just as hungry to outdo themselves as you are.”“And honestly, that’s the only kind of storytelling I’m interested in where everyone involved leaves the story bigger than they found it. This just empowers me to adapt scripts based on the actor,” he added.
