Lyricist Manoj Muntashir, who is known for his work in ‘Adipurush’, ‘Kesari’, and others, has reacted to veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah’s allegations of disinvite from a university at the last moment.
The lyricist spoke with IANS at an event, and shared, “I think universities are run independently in this country. Universities are governed by the government. This is new information for me. I did not know this. They have autonomous management. I do not know what happened. But Naseeruddin Shah is a great artist. He is a great actor”.
