Colors Tamil announced the world television premiere of ‘Mumbaikar’ on November 5 at 2 pm.
Mumbaikar, Powered by ‘Ramraj Cotton Shirts’ with Special Partner ‘Pothysin Deepawali Fashion Rockets’, is part of the channel’s ‘Movie of the Month’ series.
Directed by filmmaker Santosh Sivan, the thriller drama, which is the official remake of Lokesh Kanagaraj's ‘Maanagaram’, stars Vijay Sethupathi, Vikrant Massey, Hridhu Haroon, Ranvir Shorey, Tanya Maniktala, and Sanjay Mishra.
Set against the backdrop of Mumbai’s bustling streets, Mumbaikar follows a hyper-linked plot structure, intertwining the lives of various unrelated characters. The film chronicles the journey of the key characters whose lives suddenly converge across multiple events that take place during a 24-hour period. This, in turn, changes the characters’ perspectives towards the city and life itself. With its compelling narrative, the movie promises to take audiences on an exciting journey and showcase the lesser-known sides of India’s city of dreams.
The film has been produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Riya Shibu.
Massey said, “It has been an absolute pleasure sharing screen space with Vijay Sethupathi Sir. I have grown up watching Santosh Sivan Sir’s films. I have always admired his work and now to be directed by him was an experience I will cherish forever. I am sure people of Tamil Nadu will enjoy our super combo”.
Sethupathi said, “It is an exciting time for Indian actors. We are getting opportunities to work on films across languages. After the love and appreciation, I have received for my web series, this movie marks my first Hindi film debut, I am looking forward to Tamil audiences’ reaction for its Tamil television premiere film. I am sure they will love and appreciate it.”
Director Sivan said, “It was a great feeling to direct a Hindi film once again. Mumbaikar is a film that gives a perspective of the city through the lives of interwoven characters. Mumbai has its own unique spirit and I have tried to encapsulate it through the film. It was amazing working with such talented actors in one film! I am thrilled for its Tamil TV Premiere on Nov 5.”
