Director
Sanjay
Gupta
who
last
helmed
Hrithik
Roshan-starrer
Kaabil
in
2018,
is
back
with
a
bang!
The
filmmaker
took
to
social
media
to
release
the
teaser
of
his
upcoming
gangster
drama
titled
Mumbai
Saga.
The
film
has
an
ensemble
star
cast
led
by
Emraan
Hashmi,
John
Abraham,
Suniel
Shetty
and
Kajal
Aggarwal.
Sanjay
Gupta
took
to
his
official
Twitter
handle
to
unveil
the
teaser
and
wrote,
"When
Bombay
wasn't
Mumbai,
And
violence
ruled
the
streets!
Get
ready
to
witness
the
Saga
of
the
Year.
MUMBAI
SAGA
in
Cinemas
on
19th
March."
The
teaser
begins
with
an
introduction
of
John
Abraham's
gangster
and
his
rise
to
power
from
the
streets
of
Bombay.
Emraan
Hashmi
essays
the
role
of
a
tough
cop
who
is
on
a
mission
to
end
the
crime
in
the
city.
One
also
gets
a
glimpse
of
Suniel
Shetty's
character
in
the
teaser.
John's
gangster
act
might
remind
one
of
his
character
Manya
Surve
from
Shootout
At
Wadala
which
was
also
helmed
by
Sanjay
Gupta.
Watch
the
teaser.
Set
in
the
1980s-90s,
Mumbai
Saga
tells
the
story
of
Bombay's
transformation
into
Mumbai.
Director
Sanjay
Gupta
had
earlier
said
in
a
statement,
"25
years,
17
films
later,
I
had
to
give
my
audience
something
bigger
and
better.
Mumbai
Saga
is
by
far
my
most
ambitious
film
which
needed
a
visionary
producer.
And
I
am
grateful
to
Bhushan
Kumar
for
putting
his
faith
and
might
in
it.
It
is
one
such
story
that
needs
to
be
said
on
screen."
Produced
by
Bhushan
Kumar,
Krishan
Kumar,
Anuradha
Gupta
and
Sangeeta
Ahir,
Mumbai
Saga
is
slated
for
a
theatrical
release
on
March
19,
2021.
