Santosh Sivan – Merging ‘Anjaan’ with the new colour of Mumbai

Mumbai is not new to Santosh Sivan as he has already cranked some of the best shots for Vijay’s Thuppakki. But how different has he visually delineated Mumbai in Anjaan? “The script from Lingusamy gave me an opportunity to explore the new Mumbai. One side of this city is always good and other is bad. I just didn’t want to display the rotten one, but match the colours of both. Mumbai is a city full of colours and artificial lights. We have used these elements as backdrops for Anjaan. Moreover, the film has interesting script with twists and turns. It has an interesting bunch of actors like Suriya, Samantha, Vidyut Jamwal and my old friend Manoj Bajpai. The song by Chitrangada Singh has come out well. The onscreen chemistry of Suriya and Samantha would be a major highlight indeed.
