A blockbuster political battle brews in Mumbai - Bollywood's beating heart - with Aaditya Thackeray, the popular son of Shiv Sena boss Uddhav Thackeray, set to fight charismatic ex Congress MP Milind Deora, who jumped from that party to Eknath Shinde's breakaway Sena faction in January.
Sources Friday morning said the Shinde Sena had confirmed Mr Deora's candidature, a day after Mr Thackeray's party said he would defend his seat.
