CITYLIGHTS is a love story set against the backdrop of a thriller and we can assure the audiences that this is going to be an altogether new cinematic experience for them. The fact that Metro Manila is winning international nods is a testament to the fact that its story has found a connect with the worldwide audience and we are excited to bring this  story to the Indian audiences set in Rajasthan and Mumbai.”
