Sanjay
Gupta's
gangster
drama,
Mumbai
Saga,
has
created
a
lot
of
buzz
in
the
industry.
After
pulling
a
one
of
a
kind
casting
coup
and
putting
together
a
star
cast
with
likes
of
John
Abraham,
Emraan
Hashmi,
Suniel
Shetty,
Mahesh
Manjeraker,
Kajal
Aggarwal
and
Prateik
Babbar,
the
internet
erupted
with
praise
for
John's
first
look
as
the
gangster
in
the
film.
Now,
the
makers
of
the
film
have
unveiled
Emraan
Hashmi's
first
look
as
the
encounter
specialist
in
the
film,
and
this
hits
the
bull's
eye
as
well.
Sanjay
Gupta
took
to
his
Twitter
page
to
drop
a
still
featuring
Emraan
Hashmi
in
his
cop
avatar
and
wrote,
#MUMBAISAGA
One
of
my
favourite
moments
from
the
film.
Grit
and
determination
to
get
the
bad
guys
at
any
cost
writ
large
on
his
face."
He
tweeted
one
more
picture
and
wrote,
Everyone
on
team
MUMBAI
SAGA
was
anxious
about
how
@emraanhashmi
would
pull
off
the
deadly
cop's
look.
Just
look
with
what
style
he
has
pulled
it
off."
A
fan
of
Sanjay's
narrative
styles
and
the
positions
of
the
actors,
Emraan
revealed
he
was
a
little
surprised
when
Sanjay
approached
him
to
play
a
cop
and
not
a
gangster.
The
actor
said,
"I
rejected
a
lot
of
offers
which
were
in
the
same
zone
as
Shoaib
Khan
from
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbai,
maybe,
I
was
waiting
for
Sanjay's
film.
But
when
Sanjay
said
he
is
offering
me
the
role
of
a
cop,
I
was
a
little
taken
aback."
Emraan
was
also
a
little
apprehensive
about
how
the
character
was
written
since
he
wanted
to
steer
clear
of
a
character
that
was
unidimensional
and
similar
to
ones
already
portrayed
before
in
other
films.
"I
was
hoping
it's
not
that
and
to
my
surprise,
the
way
the
part
has
been
penned
and
the
kind
of
character
I
play,
he
is
almost
like
a
gangster.
An
encounter
specialist,
he
can
put
a
bullet
into
someone
if
it
accomplishes
his
motive.
He
is
a
badass
character
in
a
dog-eats-dog
kind
of
world
wherein
this
guy
is
the
wolf.
No
one
would
imagine
that
I
am
playing
a
cop
but
for
this
policeman,
he
is,
as
I
said,
like
a
gangster.
Be
it
by
fair
or
unfair
means,
he
will
bring
down
the
guy
he
is
going
for.
So,
it's
kind
of
home
turf
but
it's
a
very
entertaining
pitch
for
a
character
in
a
pure
Sanjay
Gupta
style,
who
has
created
his
own
brand
of
cinema.
And
as
an
actor,
I
am
always
up
for
doing
something
different," he
further
added.
Mumbai
Saga
is
produced
by
T-Series
and
White
Feather
Films.
The
film
is
slated
to
hit
the
big
screens
on
June
19.
