Manisha Koraila donned the role of Nayanthara's mother in the Malayalam film Electra. Many had commented on her acting as elderly mother.

Manisha Koraila while speaking about this said,” I was very reluctant initially to do Nayanthara's mother role when I was approached. The age differences me and Nayanthara was very less. But I agreed to do the role because my role was very important and the story was centered on me. At my age of 20, I had donned the mother role of two children in Mumbai. Nayanthara is a sweet person to move with. There is nothing wrong in doing mother role. I have donned the role of Dhanush's mother-in-law in the film Mappillai.

I can never forget this experience. There is various news about my marriage life. As far as I am concerned, my marriage is my personal life. My family life is good.”
