4 years after the havoc Deshmukh gives us 'Tum Mile'

July 26, 2005, rang an ominous bell for most Mumbaikars with a cloudburst and high tide wreaking havoc in the city. Four years later, filmmaker Kunal Deshmukh has set this as a background of his next venture. “Recreating the floods that happened four years ago was the biggest challenge because there would obviously be comparisons drawn to what happened in 2005 and people would snap back if portrayed wrongly.” While the love story between Soha Ali Khan and Emraan Hashmi is a fictitious one, Deshmukh did speak to people from around Mumbai who were caught in this ghastly incident. “With the media showing footage of the floods quite regularly, it was easier for me recreate the scenario and also relate to the people, although a long time has passed after the floods.”
