Filming City of Gold was not just physically but emotionally draining experience as it tells true untold stories of manyfamilies that I have grown up with," he said. "Since childhood, I have closely observed the entire mill universe and the lives of the common mill worker within it. Manjrekar who grew up in Wadala, not far from Lalbaug and Parel which is still called "Girangaon" or the land of the mills by many in Mumbai, said that filming City of Gold was an emotional ride for him. The film stars Satish Kaushik, Seema Biswas, Sachin Khedekar and a host of Marathi film and stage actors. It has been adapted from Adhantar, a play written by journalist Jayant Pawar in the 90s," the filmmaker said. I have been toying with the idea of making this film for over three years. While the Hindi version would be released in April, Marathi version would be released some time later, he added.Ĭity of Gold is a hard-hitting film which portrays the story of the mill workers against the background of the changing socio-political atmosphere and the birth of organised crime in Mumbai, said Manjrekar. The film is being made simultaneously in Hindi and Marathi.
The story of City of Gold was with me for four years. "I did two Marathi movies, Mi Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy and Shikshanachya Aicha Gho which have done well. Talking to reporters in Mumbai today, Manjrekar said he took a break from Bollywood after Viruddh because he felt he was out of sync with the content. Mahesh Manjrekar is set to direct his first Hindi film in four years, City of Gold which dwells into the textile strike in Mumbai during the 1980s which devastated lives of several mill workers and their families.
