Describing his segment in Ankahi Kahaniya as an ode to Mumbai, director Abhishek Chaubey says he sought wife’s help to add Marathi flavour to the film
Rinku Rajguru and Delzad Hiwale in the film
His segment, starring Rinku Rajguru and Delzad Hiwale, explores young love in the world of single-screen theatres. Chaubey says he wanted to explore the Marathi flavour that is deeply embedded in the city. “The film has [a generous dose of] Marathi dialogues. If I am talking about the city, I need to speak its primary language. My wife, whose mother tongue is Konkani, graciously helped me write the dialogues in Marathi. I have been here for around 20 years, so I understand the language as well.”
Early on, the director knew that Rajguru would be the perfect fit for his short film. Her performance in the Marathi blockbuster, Sairat (2016), had left an impression on him. “She was a firecracker in Sairat. I felt it would be great to explore the actor in her by putting her in another love story, but in a dramatically different character.”
