The Mumbai Police are gearing up for their annual cultural event Umang, scheduled to be held in January 2019. And it's likely to be a smaller list of celebrities this time around, as cops want to make sure that anyone accused of sexual harassment or assault is not invited. The final list prepared will keep in mind the #MeToo movement, which has rocked Bollywood particularly hard.
A police team comprising a DCP is preparing the list of celebrities from different walks of life and going through each and every person's background. While the event is held in January every year, the exact date for this edition is yet to be fixed; planning for it, however, always begins two months in advance. Those usually in attendance include leading Bollywood and TV stars, and many of them perform as well.
