The horrific tragedy of the train bombings in Mumbai on July 11th 2006, where approximately 200 people were killed must have triggered many short as well as commercial movies, but the latest on the floor being directed by Nishikant Kamat entitled 'Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan' is an assertive film that boasts an all Bollywood star-cast.

One of the star cast members, Madhavan says:

Mumbai Meri Jaan hits you where it hurts. It's based on the July 2006 train bombings in Mumbai. Paresh Rawal, K.K. Menon, Irrfan Khan, Soha Ali Khan and I play different people grappling with various issues after the terrible explosions in Mumbai.

Nishikant says that after 'Rang De Basanti' he was looking for something that addressed itself to the nation's conscience and this on-going project was the one that he needed. He further added:

It's good to see Hindi cinema moving towards the headlines. If I come to Mumbai to do a Hindi film I'd like to go into projects that challenge me as an artiste and thinking individual. I've worked with Soha in Rang De Basanti. But never with Paresh, Irrfan and KK.

Well, apart from the massive star cast we do hope to see a good story line that would make a difference to the lives of the tragedy struck people and also promote world peace.
