Despite
its
crowded
local
trains,
heavy
rains,
power
cuts,
slums,
water
crisis
and
traffic
snarls,
Mumbai
manages
to
enthrall
one
and
all.
The
latest
to
fall
for
its
charm
is
renowned
film-maker
Rituparno
Ghosh,
who
is
shooting
a
short
film
on
the
city.
It's
Rituparno's
first
attempt
at
short
documentaries
and
he
reportedly
took
on
the
project
simply
to
savour
the
"thrill" of
shooting
on
the
streets
of
the
city.
The
film,
tentatively
titled
"Mangal
Moorty",
is
part
of
a
docu
series
produced
by
Niyati
Shah
and
Samrat
Sengupta.
Directors
Anurag
Kashyap,
Revathy,
Aziz
Mirza,
Kundan
Shah,
Saket
Chowdhary,
Manish
Jha
and
Sudhir
Mishra
are
also
contributing
short
films
to
the
series.
Back
in
Kolkata,
Rituparno
is
in
the
post-production
stage
of
"Sunglass",
based
on
extra-marital
affairs
and
starring
Madhavan,
Raima
Sen
and
Konkona
Sen
Sharma.
He
hopes
to
wrap
it
up
in
a
few
months.
But
once
"Sunglass"
is
released,
it
seems
the
film-maker
might
seriously
consider
making
a
full-fledged
film
in
Mumbai.
He
is
already
in
love
with
the
city.
