Nawazuddin Siddiqui's first look as Manto is out and the resemblance is uncanny!

Ever since Nandita Das made the announcement of her upcoming biopic on  Saadat Hasan Manto, fans of the late prolific writer have barely been able to contain their excitement.

The film has been making headlines for a while now, after many stars refused to be part of it and then, Bollywood actor Om Puri - who was supposed to be in it too - suddenly died.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui now portrays Manto. His first look as the latter has just been released and boy, are we impressed!



Taking to Twitter, Nawazuddin unveiled his look as the writer:

The actor is virtually unrecognisable, having nailed Manto's unruly hair and round spectacles down to a tee. The resemblance is just uncanny! What do you think? Does the actor do justice to the famous writer?
