Manu Rishi Chadha
Manu Rishi Chadha, one of the finest artists in our industry was born and raised in Delhi. His only dream was to become an actor and hence to hone his skills, he quit college to pursue theatre.
He gave 10 years to theatre and eventually decided to move to Mumbai to give a bigger platform to his acting dreams. After a few attempts at acting which proved his mettle, but unfortunately did not give him many opportunities to put him in the big league of actors in the industry, he decided to quit acting and give his all to writing.
He wrote Oye Lucky Lucky Oye which turned out to be a blockbuster. It not only won him recognition and acceptance in the industry as a fine actor but also won him his first Filmfare award, IIFA and numerous other prestigious awards.
Juggling between acting and writing, he gave many successful films as a writer and some more as an actor like Phas Gaye Re Obama, Kya Dilli Kya Lahore, 21 Topon ki Salaami, Ek Deewana Tha, What The Fish, Life ki toh Lag Gayi, Aankhon Dekhi, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, etc.
Now he's back as an actor. Watch out for him playing a primary character in a Web Series called Inside Edge for Amazon Prime directed By Karan Anshuman and produced by Excel Films.
