I believe cinema has no language: Saiee Manjrekar

Mumbai, Sept 9 (UNI) Actress Saiee Manjrekar, who was last seen in the Telugu-language action drama helmed by Pradeep Chilukuri which released on April 18, believes that cinema's essence lies not in the language it speaks but in the versatility of its stories.
Having made her debut in 2019 as Khushi Chautala in the Hindi action-comedy "Dabangg 3" opposite Salman Khan, she has since been steadily charting a multilingual trajectory across Indian cinema.
Saiee said, “I believe cinema has no language. It’s the story and the way it connects with people that matters. Right now, I’m focusing on my journey in Bollywood and the South, but I would definitely like to do a meaningful Marathi film at some point too. As long as the script excites me and the director has a strong vision, I'm open to exploring different industries.”
Drawing a contrast between her professional journeys, she observed, “Having worked in both Bollywood and the South, I genuinely feel each industry has its own rhythm and charm. In Bollywood, there’s a lot of emphasis on larger-than-life emotion and the way films are positioned. In the South, I’ve experienced a deep sense of discipline and a lot of respect for the craft on set, which I really admire. Both spaces have taught me valuable lessons, and I feel lucky to be part of both worlds. For me, it’s about taking the best of both and growing with every project.”
Saiee credits her father, the distinguished filmmaker and actor Mahesh Manjrekar, whose career spans eight languages, with instilling in her the understanding that stories can transcend cultural and linguistic divides.
Inspired by his legacy, Saiee too wants to embark on a multilingual journey that has mainstream appeal and also possesses emotional depth.
