“There are all kind of filmmakers and all kind of reasons of a making a film. The Hindi film industry has to be more adventurous and make all kind of films. I start working on a script first and then think who should be cast,” Mehta told a <g data-gr-id="19">media</g> person. Mehta is looking forward to the release of Manjhi - The Mountain Man, an upcoming biographical film based on the life of Dashrath Manjhi. A poor labourer from a village in Bihar, he spent 22 years carving a path through a mountain. Mehta is happy with the response he is getting for the film, which will hit the screens on August 21. 

“The moment the trailer was released it was heartening to see an amazing response. It was surprising to see an overwhelming response from the youth. They identified with the spirit of the man,” the 
filmmaker said.
