Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj speaks up about the different shades of love that he is trying to explore with his upcoming film ‘Mumbai Dragon’ in the anthology ‘Modern Love Mumbai’.
‘Modern Love Mumbai’ promises to explore love in all of its complicated and beautiful forms. Scheduled to launch on May 13, the series is a revamped version of love stories that describe the true and timely anecdotes of real human connection. ‘Modern Love Mumbai’ has roped in six prolific minds of Hindi cinema who together will narrate six unique stories which will be opening the audiences to different moods.
Talking about his directorial, ‘Mumbai Dragon’, filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj says, “If one thinks about it, while love has many shades over varied times and in different parts of the world, its essence always remains the same. I wanted to portray love in its contrasting forms and yet in a relatable manner. ‘Mumbai Dragon’ delves into a unique storyline of the small and fading Indian-Chinese community. Despite their inherent language and distinct cultural nuances, it’s remarkable to see how they all blend into the social fabric of Mumbai," he said.
The filmmaker further adds, " I find this aspect of filmmaking, where I get to showcase many things at the same time, extremely fascinating. My heartfelt gratitude goes to Yeo Yann Yann, Meiyang Chang, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Naseeruddin Shah without whom ‘Mumbai Dragon’ wouldn’t be possible.”
