Hyderabad schedule of John Abraham's film Mumbai Saga cancelled due to COVID 19 spike

The shooting of Sanjay Gupta's Mumbai Saga, starring John Abraham and Emraan Hashmi has been called off due to the rise in COVID-19 cases in Hyderabad. The director will now shoot in Mumbai itself and that too after August 15 this year.Talking to a leading daily, Sanjay Gupta said, “John, Emraan and the rest of us were kicked about shooting (in Hyderabad), but we can't do so by putting everyone's health at risk. John was to finish the pending work on Mumbai Saga before moving on to his next. But with cases on the rise, we decided it would be best to take stock of the situation after a month. We will try to procure permission to shoot from August 15 and are eyeing three studios — Mehboob, Essel and Film City. The dates are tentative.” 

The period gangster drama also stars Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, Gulshan Grover, Prateik Babbar, Amole Gupte and Rohit Roy.  The first look of the movie featuring all the actors had already been released last year which received rave responses from everyone. Talking about Mumbai Saga, the movie has been produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Anuradha Gupta and Sangeeta Ahir. The story tells the changing face of Mumbai, how in the eighties and the nineties mills were closed to make malls and high rise buildings. The film is one of the most awaited gangster flicks and is mounted on a lavish scale.
