New Delhi: Amazon Prime Video's 'Modern Love, Mumbai' is an anthology consisting of 6 beautiful love stories. Prominent filmmakers of Indian cinema - Hansal Mehta, Vishal Bharadwaj, Nupoor Asthana, Shonali Bose, Dhruv Sehgal, and Alankrita Shrivastava explore the different shades of love in the city of dreams, Mumbai.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Hansal Mehta, who directed Baai in the anthology, talked about its story the 'awkward kiss' between Pratik Gandhi and Ranveer Brar. He said, "The intention was not to titillate. And one must understand, that the character of Manzu comes from years of repression. He is not going to suddenly get up and start kissing like Dean Martin. It was an attempt to show that repression. Some people have messaged me asking why are they so awkward. I said ‘I’m glad you see it is awkward’. When you meet somebody for the first time, you feel passionate but you won’t have that perfect kiss. It is a progression. That’s what we tried to show. I don’t know why people need it to be perfect."
