Jain attended the event along with several well-known industry personalities such as Rajesh Puri, Sunil Pal, Manish and Rajshree Singhal of Dangal TV, Rushad Rana, Mehul Nisar, Vipul Vithlani, Dilip Rawal, and Nivedita Basu.

Anupam Kher Praises Director Yogesh Pagare

Anupam Kher highly appreciated director Yogesh Pagare’s courage and artistic vision. He said, “The concept of the film is truly unique. Yogesh Pagare has done a commendable job by creating a movie that relies entirely on strong storytelling and brilliant performances rather than grandeur or effects. It’s a thought-provoking film with an unexpected and engaging climax. Overall, it’s a brave and refreshing experiment by Yogesh, and I sincerely wish it receives all the love and appreciation from the audience.”

Yogesh Pagare Expresses Gratitude

Director Yogesh Pagare expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the love and appreciation the film received during the screening. He said, “It was a great honor to have Anupam Kher sir as the special guest for the screening of my film ‘Mano Ya Na Mano – Anything Is Possible.’ Sir has always been a source of inspiration for me. His life mantra, ‘Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai,’ has been my guiding force—encouraging me to dream fearlessly and work passionately. His presence made the evening truly special and unforgettable for me and my entire team.”

Hiten Tejwani Shares His Experience

Speaking about his role, Hiten Tejwani said, “I play a character named Manav, who claims to have been alive for 14,000 years. The character is ‘immortal’—an ordinary man but extraordinary in his own way. This story is the official remake of the Hollywood cult classic ‘The Man From Earth.’ I’ve portrayed this role in my own style and tone, which pushed me out of my comfort zone as an actor.”

He further explained, “The story begins from a primitive tribe, and the character’s age stops increasing after 40. The revelation that he’s been alive for 14,000 years shocks everyone around him. I believe mature and complex characters like these should appear more often in cinema because a person can be a hero at any age.”

Comedian Sunil Pal praised Hiten Tejwani’s performance, saying, “Hiten is a brilliant actor. I also really liked Rajiv Thakur’s negative role. This is a must-watch film—it takes you into a different world and makes you think deeply.”

Shikhaa Malhotra Talks About Her Role

Actress Shikhaa Malhotra shared, “I play the role of Meghna, who is in love with Manav (Hiten’s character) and believes in his claim of living for 14,000 years. The poster may look dark, but director Yogesh Pagare has portrayed the story beautifully with clarity and emotion. My character is deeply emotional, and throughout the film, she stands by and defends Manav.”
