Jio MAMI 19th Mumbai Film Festival kicks off with glitzy opening ceremony, Anurag Kashyap’s Mukkabaaz.

The opening ceremony of the Jio MAMI 19th Mumbai Festival is taking place at the Liberty Cinema in South Mumbai. As delegates and members of the film fraternity make their way into the venue, Firstpost is covering the red carpet LIVE. Stay tuned for updates here: 
The Jio MAMI 19th Mumbai Film Festival has officially begun. The scene for the opening ceremony is the Liberty Cinema in South Mumbai, and the opening film for the festival is Anurag Kashyap’s Mukkabaaz. The festival will end on 18 October.
And as the proceedings within the venue kicked off, with speeches by Nita Ambani and Amruta Fadnavis, we caught the last few celebrities dashing into the venue. Among them were Imtiaz Ali and Karan Johar. We asked them what they were looking forward to at MAMI and here’s what they had to say:

Imtiaz Ali — "Right now, I’m very excited to watch Mukkabaaz. (apart from that) I use MAMI as the occasion to get my hands on very elusive films — films I wouldn’t otherwise get to watch, unless I resort to piracy (which no one should ever resort to)!"

Karan Johar — "Mukkabaaz! I’ve asked Anurag to arrange a screening for all of us at Dharma. This venue... Liberty Cinema takes me back to my Kuch Kuch Hota Hai days, because that’s where it premiered in 1998. So I feel life has come full circle when I come back here for MAMI."
As Dulquer Salmaan dashed into the venue, we got him to answer a couple of really quick questions. Shooting for his Bollywood debut film here, Dulquer told us: "I’m almost done shooting here; I have about two days of shoot left in Mumbai. Irrfan and Mithila — it’s been a blast working with him."

As for the event itself, Dulquer said, "It’s exciting just to be here. I rarely get invited to film festivals, which is why I’m very happy to be here!"
