When Om Puri recalled his struggling days at the recently held Filmfare Awards function, as a "scrawny, long-haired, funny-looking fellow" who dared to dream, it was tough not to draw a parallel to Jehan Manekshaw's predicament. Thirty five year-old Jehan's struggle has left him, and become a collective dream. "It's important for the message to go across that this isn't about me, how this cannot be achieved without the support of common people, patrons and the government," he says about his company, Theatre Professionals Pvt. Ltd. (TTPL), that aims to train actors and organise world-class productions in India.
