Set in the 1980s and 1990s, the gangster drama directed by Sanjay Gupta features actors John Abraham, Suniel Shetty, Emraan Hashmi and Gulshan Grover.
At a time when many filmmakers are looking at realistic themes and actors with down-to-earth image to create commercial entertainers, the filmmaker also wondered about the missing “herogiri” in Bollywood.
“Why and where has herogiri gone from our films??? I mean isn’t that the whole point of making commercial blockbusters??? It’s alive and thriving down south,” he tweeted.
Earlier, Sanjay Gupta had opened up on how he is going to complete the remaining portion of his “Mumbai Saga“.
“The only thing my company is going to do is the balance pending work, for which we’ll head to Ramoji film city. We’ve got work on two sets, so we’ll put up those two sets and there will be nobody coming from outside those gates,” he said, adding: “The people we take from here will be a limited number. This will ensure a sense of security which was not probable in Mumbai, where you’ve got people coming from different parts of the city, and even with all necessary precautions taken, one can’t be 100 percent sure of being safe. It’s not a risk I’d like my cast and senior technicians to face.”
