Mumbai Mori Re for Saurabh Shukla ..

- 'If you say I live in Bandra, it does not mean that you are rich. Because there are many slums in Bandra. Who cares if you live in a tall building or in a hut! '

National award winning actor Saurabh Shukla has achieved many feats and successes in Bollywood. Not only that, he has got a certain place in the hearts of the viewers through his wonderful acting in many films like 'Satya', 'Yuva', 'Barfi', 'Jolly LLB', 'Chhalang'. Not only acting, but also directing and screenwriting, he has made his mark in Bollywood in Mumbai in the early nineties. It's been a long time coming. He captures the city with his creative lens and gives an emotional global value to the relentless and unstoppable movement of the city. And also gives the ability to see this city from a different point of view, so let's see this city from their point of view!

Asked what attracted the city when he stepped down as an actor in Mumbai, Shukla said, "Mumbai was on the world map at the time as a city of entertainment. Its name was known not only in South-East Asia, but also in the West. People wanted to know Mumbai as an industry. In which a number of films were made during the year. Known as the Bollywood Sint.

This is a place where films are made through an ocean of dreams and imagination. ' The films that were made in Bollywood at that time were mostly shaped by the filmmaking style of the eighties. However, this gradually changed. However, the films of this city are still based on the filmmaking style of '90s.

We didn't make reality films, but songs and dances were routine, with dramas and loud dialogues. The dress of the people at that time, contemporary fashion reflected the time. Such was the impression of Mumbai all over the world - which was the first impression. The sets of Filmcity did not look different from one film to another. "It was a time when the film's onscreen society was everywhere. Not only that, there was no diverse cultural thinking.

However, such things quickly changed. The film 'Shore' starring Manoj Kumar came out, in which he shed light on the lives of ordinary people living in Mumbai. Apart from this, another film 'Namakharam' came out which showed how the workers working in the factory are being exploited. However, there are very few films that reflect the common man of Mumbai, 'said Saurabh Shukla.

In the late 70's, Ram Gopal Varma made a film called 'Satya', which became a landmark in the country. However, when 'Satya' was released, the situation changed. Yet 'Satya' brings a test of what real Mumbai really was.

How the city works and how people treat each other - all these things had a realistic picture in it. All of this shows work, ethics and discretion that touches relationships. ' After 'Satya', other filmmakers also started making real cinema in Mumbai, which was screened in 2008. By then, however, the spectators began to change. A realistic approach to films also became possible for mainstream audiences. Thus, many films were made about Mumbai and its environs.

Anyone in the industry has a lot of respect for the city's work system. 'You see, most of the people in Mumbai are in working mode. Not only that, it is extremely practical. Although the city has changed a lot - I mean change means more flyovers have been built, malls have sprung up, metros have started, etc., but the essence of Mumbai has remained the same. If you want to work here, there are huge possibilities. '

But in 1902, the dominance of Mafia and Andharialam in other parts of Mumbai also increased to a great extent. However, in the late '70s, it was completely wiped out. The matter was similar to the Mumbai Mafia legend. Of course, there is still an atmosphere of active crime in this city, but it is not the same. There are different types of organized crime in Mumbai now. It's the exact opposite of what we've been seeing for years. '

'People from all over the country, even from abroad, come and live here. Over time, the city's politicians target outsiders. Some stay away from politics. But the issue of Insight-Outsider in Mumbai is more political. Those who stay away from politics give it air from the issue of politics, which is one of their games. However, ordinary people are very busy in their lives and jobs.

They don't care about that. However, creating groups of elements also creates problems. 'Mumbai is a city of migrants. And because of that their work culture is unparalleled. Anything can happen here. The city was once flooded by heavy rains. People were trapped anywhere. But as the water receded, everyone went to work. This is the spirit of Mumbaigara! '

Mumbai's food culture is also special. Unlike other parts of India, lunch is not lunch here. ‘Vadapau is not just an item to eat here, it reflects the city’s fast-paced work culture. Elsewhere the head is considered a snack and is taken with tea. This also includes samosas. For Mumbaigara, Vadapau can also be a lunch or dinner. This is because people in Mumbai do not stop eating.

So for them, food is also something that is dynamic. ' That's what they say. 'Everybody uses local trains in Mumbai. Trains have kept the class division away. Hence train is an important aspect of culture. No one in Mumbai is judging you and not on the basis of how you work. ' This was stated by Saurabh Shukla. 'If you say I live in Bandra, it does not mean that you are rich. Because there are many slums in Bandra.

Who cares if you live in a tall building or in a hut! You just have to come to work. If you plan to have a party, many will come to your party in the same attire as before in the office as they do not have time to go home, take a shower and come in suit-boots. They won’t worry about fashion. Alas, even at big parties many come wearing T-shirts. This is the reason why we love Mumbai, ”said Saurabh Shukla.
