Commenting on the launch of the film, Tasneem Lokhandwala, Head – Content & Programming, EPIC Channel, said, “Mumbai is always spoken of as the ‘maximum city’ and a ‘concrete jungle’, but few people are aware that it provides diverse habitats to hundreds of migratory birds and aquatic creatures even in congested areas like Andheri and Powai. Wetlands - Miracles in Mumbai will capture the complexity between this city and its surrounding ecosystem, with a never seen before view of Mumbai’s most valuable real-estate – it’s wetlands.” EPIC Channel Announces New TV Show on World’s Largest Postal Service – India Post.
