Hopeful and Dedicated

In 2015, Nawazuddin Siddiqui played the lead character in Ketan Mehta’s Manjhi: The Mountain Man. The movie also cast Radhika Apte and Ashutosh Acharya as lead characters. Nawazuddin plays the character of Dashrath Manjhi in the movie who lives in a small village with his wife and son. When his pregnant wife fails to cross a big mountain and travel to the other side in order to get medical help, she dies. It is then when Manjhi decides that he will break the mountain one day so that nobody else has to suffer as he did. When he started hammering the mountain, people called him a lunatic but that only steeled his resolve further. After 22 years of back-breaking labour, Manjhi carved a path 360 feet long, 25 feet deep in places and 30 feet wide. It was only possible because Manjhi was dedicated to what he had decided and was hopeful that he will do it one day.
