Known to play every character to the hilt, talented actress Sakshi Tanwar has joined the cast of the upcoming thriller Dial 100. The Dangal actress feels elated that she will share screen space with two stalwarts like Manoj Bajpayee and Neena Gupta. Speaking of her working with Manoj Bajpayee, the actress said, “Not many know that when I was in college in Delhi, Manoj sir had come to take a workshop. He is, in a way, my first director as he worked with us on a play Madam, where I was playing the lead. It actually took me 30 years to share screen space with him.” Sakshi will essay the role of Manoj’s wife in the film. 

The actress spoke of Gupta and said, “She is someone I have always admired. Apart from being a great actor, while shooting, I came to know she is a wonderful, warm person. Since we mostly shot at night, it could have been tough, but with her, it became such a pleasant time. She was fun, lively and we could connect and talk about so many things. We would sing together, and I kept asking her about her previous work which I had liked. I think I couldn’t have asked for more as I got to work with Neena Ji and Manoj sir together.” Dial 100 is directed by Rensil D’Silva and stream on August 6th on Zee5.
