Sanjay Mishra is an amazing co-star: Anshuman Jha
Actor Anshuman Jha, who is sharing screen space with Sanjay Mishra in the upcoming film "Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain", says the veteran actor -- one of the "finest" -- is an amazing co-star.
"There were so many instances and anecdotes we discussed and in some way or the other tried incorporating it in the film.

The film also stars Shivani Raghuvanshi, Ekavali Khanna and Pankaj Tripathi.
