He is the only 'acting' member of Slumdog Millionaire who chose not to attend the premiere of the movie. He was not even part of the celebrations; forget about being part of the cast who went to the Oscars. Is something wrong, Mr Mahesh Manjrekar?
"I don't think I am such an important member of the film. I have a small role. I don't think I merit anything out of the film," he answers.
We beg to differ. Actors with even smaller roles were seen dancing at the premiere party and the post-Oscars parties. So, why was he the only man who chose to stay away from even the Mumbai premiere of the film?
