MUMBAI:
Debutante Shiv Dube’s directorial venture MLA has
won a nomination at the New York Indian Film Festival
(NYIFF) where the film would be officially screened
on 24 May.
Starring
Mukesh Tiwari and Onkar Das Manikpuri, the film tells
the story of a battle between a common man, an industrialist
and a politician.The film is an attempt to show the
power of the common man. If a common man decides to
change the fate of his country, then he can do that
by electing and voting the right candidate for himself.
Said
Dube, "I was so occupied with the activities
concerning the film’s release that I didn't even
have time to react. I just took the news casually
when I was informed about it initially. I took it
as part and parcel of making a film. But now that
it has actually sunk in, I obviously feel honoured
and appreciated. Through MLA, my attempt is to show
the real face of politics from the point of view of
the layman and the corporate world. I also want to
spread awareness about the importance of voting among
the audience.”
Produced
by Gajali Films, MLA will release across theatres
on 25 May.
