Manav also believes in transforming Indian television industry but believes that writers are forced to follow the stereotypes and supports the need for innovation in Indian television industry.

In an interview with TellyBuzz, he said, “I firmly believe that one thing that is lacking in our industry, is the lack of recognition that should be given to the script writers and other members who make the show possible. The entire concentration is focused on few people and hence, the writers are forced to follow stereotype and focus on the few, rather than telling a story. When experiments are done, the viewership turns down. It becomes like a vicious cycle, where the viewers only accept certain kind of stories, which force the team to produce certain types of shows. I believe that there is a lot of talent in the industry waiting for the right kind of shows to be backed up.” Manav also showcased his talent in the film industry with creditable roles in Chaloo Movie INC (2011) and Sikka(2015).
