After two years, Bollywood filmmaker-actor Mahesh Manjrekar has returned to direction with crime thriller "City of Gold". He says the film's subject is so "compelling" that it set his "creative juices flowing all over again".

"With 'City of Gold', I have finally found a subject that has got my creative juices flowing all over again. Only once in a blue moon you get such a compelling script and that too based on real life incidents. It was such a great concept that I got back to direction without any delay," Manjrekar, whose last directorial venture was "Deha", said in a statement.

"The film is a no holds barred look at the birth of the true underbelly and organised crime in Mumbai and at the mill workers who had to sacrifice everything so that the 21st century Mumbai of swanky malls and glittering multiplexes could be built," he added.
