He
further
added,
"His

and

everyone
to
see
how
it
has
been.
These
two
formidable
gentlemen
are
coming

you
to
actually

After
Slumdog
Millionaire
and
Gullyboy,
Mumbaikar
seeks
to
look
at
the
metroscape
of
Mumbai
through
the
lives
of
interwoven
characters
who
form
its
rich,
albeit
at
times
bright,
and
other
times
dark,
lifescape.
This,
when
explored
through
the
directoral
sensibilities
of
the
lens
of
ace
director
cinematographer
Santosh
Sivan
is
sure
to
bring
to
light,
the
myriad
hues
of
Mumbai.
Santosh
Sivan
said,
"Every
city
has
its
own
spirit
and
so
does
Mumbai
that
is
synonymous
with
the
spirit
of
resilience.
Mumbai
is
a
magnet.
It
draws
aspirants
from
all
over
India,
both
in
terms
of
region
and
religion.
It
is
the
city
of
dreams,
the
city
of
hope,
the
city
of
magic
to
many.
A
stranger
can
change
your
life
here.
And
in
the
midst
of
the
concrete
jungle,
there
is
a
heartbeat
that
heals!
Mumbai
may
be
a
metrop,
but
Mumbaikar
is
an
emotion!
Hence
the
title.
In
terms
of
cast,
we
have
an
intriguing
and
interesting
mix
of
national
talents.
And
that
adds
to
the
magic."
