The much awaited trailer of Sanjay Gupta directorial crime thriller Mumbai Saga is out. The film, set in the 1980s and 90s, chronicles the transformation of Bombay to Mumbai. It stars John Abraham, Emraan Hashmi, Jackie Shroff, Suniel Shetty, Amol Gupte, Prateik Babbar, Gulshan Grover and Rohit Roy. John essays the role of a deadly gangster named Amartya Rao, who wants to dominate the underworld in Bombay. On the other hand, Emraan plays the role of a tough cop who is determined to destroy Amartya’s reign.
The Mumbai Saga teaser earlier introduced John as a gangster who “rose from the streets of Bombay to rule Mumbai” while Emraan as a cop who “rose from the ghettos of Bombay to stop” his character, Amartya Rao. Mumbai Saga is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Anuradha Gupta and Sangeeta Ahir. Initially, the film was scheduled to be released on June 19, 2020, but it got delayed due to the lockdown. In July last year, the star cast and the crew members resumed the shoot in Ramoji Film City in compliance with the guidelines given by the Producers Guild Of India and completed it within 12 days. The film is all set to release in theatres on March 19, 2021.
