Mumbai
Saga
has
Emraan
Hashmi
essaying
the
role
of
a
cop
who
is
in
the
pursuit
of
a
gangster
played
by
John
Abraham.
Earlier,
the
Jannat
actor
revealed
that
when
director
Sanjay
Gupta
narrated
him
the
story
of
Mumbai
Saga,
he
assumed
that
he
will
be
offered
the
role
of
a
gangster.
However,
he
was
surprised
when
the
filmmaker
asked
him
to
play
the
role
of
a
cop.
"I
was
pleasantly
surprised
when
he
said
I
will
play
a
police
officer.
I
was
anxious
he
won't
be
a
righteous
cop.
Then
he
said
this
cop
is
no
less
than
a
gangster.
I
realised
I
had
something
to
chew
on," Emraan
had
said
at
the
trailer
launch
of
the
film.
Mumbai
Saga
also
stars
Kajal
Aggarwal,
Mahesh
Manjrekar,
Ronit
Roy
and
others
in
pivotal
roles.
