Modern Love Mumbai has been released. The much-awaited anthology series is raging high for bringing different shades of love with six stories. In one of the anthologies, 'Raat Rani', actress Fatima Sana Shaikh portrays the shade of self-love and self-acceptance. The original Modern Love series has already set a benchmark when it comes to telling a story about different types of love, especially about self-love and self-acceptance. When asked about possible comparisons between the Mumbai edition with the US one, filmmaker, Shonali Bose who is a director of 'Raat Rani' expressed her views about Fatima's character and comparisons to the original series. She compared Fatima to Hollywood star Anne Hathway, who was a part of Modern Love, the US original anthology series.
She said "I liked the Anne Hathaway story the most. It’s a high standard to go for but I also agree that what Fatima has done is no less than what Anne Hathaway has done."
