/> Two directors from contrasting backgrounds and visions are all set to pay fictoional homages to the city of Mumbai.

Aditya Bhattacharya (son of the late avant garde filmmaker Basu Bhattacharya) who directed Aamir Khan in one of the actor's first films Raakh, is all set to direct Mumbai's Most Wanted, a film that will take a look at the city's underbelly with humour pathos and alarm.

"What's the film about? Bar girls, cops, criminals, politicians and other luminaries of Bombay," says producer Anubhav Sinha who's deeply impressed by Bhattacharya's talents.

Nishikant Kamath who's all set to launch the the other major Mumbai movie of the season says the city's working-class fascinates him.

"My earlier film Dombivili Fast explored the common middleclass man's anxieties and neuroses. I'd be going down the same road in my new Hindi film Mumbai Meri Jaan which I start shooting later this month."

Interestingly both these films have Mumbai's working class at their helm and the hero is clearly the city.

Anurag Basu's Metro takes a look at the a more upwardly-mobile community in Mumbai.

But Basu says his film too is a homage to a city that never sleeps....er, slips.
