World cinema enthusiasts residing in Mumbai, eat your hearts out. Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi was in town for 10 whole days without you coming to know about it.

According to a Mumbai Mirror report, the acclaimed Iranian filmmaker — best known for films like Children Of Heaven (1997), The Color Of Paradise (1999), and Baran (2001) — was in the city to prep for his upcoming project, an untitled project to be set completely in India.

He met his casting director Honey Trehan (Talvar, Udta Punjab), who confirmed that "at least eight-10" of the principal characters would be played by Indian actors, as the film would be shot on location in Mumbai, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Kashmir. "It will take off towards the year-end or early 2017 and is a signature Majidi film in its take on relationships and emotional quotient," he told MM.
