Loong Loong ago Martin Scorcese before he became the ‘rage’ that he did eventually became, he came to bollywood.

He had a terrible hand written script of what was to be called as Mumbai Taxi. It was a half decent script, and was based on the taxidrivers in mumbai..the haftawaalas, the traffic police constables, the prostitutes on the streets of mumbai, the eunuchs, the call center females and other “shift working people”…

He had it all story boarded with his equally bad drawing capabilities and had illustrated it with Crayons and Colour Pencils.

He took this script to Swastik Creations production office in andheri west, to meet the creative director.

The creative director didn’t read it … but wanted a narration.

Scorcese startled … but recovered and narrated the script in a span of 15 mins and 35 seconds.

“Brilliant effort” was the reaction ….

Scorcese seemed pleased. All the efforts …
