"City of Gold" will feature real mill workers along with some known film stars whose names are being kept under wraps.

Manjrekar said: "It's crucial to the vision of the movie -- the focus is on the story and not stars...at least in the initial days. I want to make sure that people understand the cruel paradox of the lives of these people and why they were compelled to make the choices they made."

During his sabbatical from direction, Manjrekar was keeping busy with acting, writing and production. His last movie "Me Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy", proved to be the most commercially successful Marathi film till date.
