    I spend a week documenting the lives of these kushti wrestlers in Mumbai in 2011. I went back last year for another week to work again on the story. The men live their lives according to ancient old rules and diets. The conditions they live in are very simple. The light conditions were quite though as light came only in via two small windows. All images though were made hand held and without the use of flash! A rest or meditative moment after a grueling work out.

    Hello

    My brother and myself are two french independents filmmakers based in Paris - FRANCE.
    We are coming this summer in India and plan to film a music video for a french band.

    Because of that, we are looking for entering in contact with a place of Kushti, ideally in Mumbay, and would like to know if we could get some help from you about it as we would like to be able to film 2 persons fighting in there.
    Do you have any contact you could share with us please?

    We let you on this first contact.
    We are looking for ,hearing about you.

    Kinds Regards.
    Yan & Nico
