Sanjay Gupta’s ‘most ambitious project’ Mumbai Saga, marks the collaboration of the director with John Abraham 6 years after their last outing, Shootout At Wadala.
While the film boasts of an impressive ensemble with actors like Emraan Hashmi, Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff and Gulshan Grover to name a few, the film has finally found its leading lady.

Speaking about the same, Sanjay has been quoted by Mumbai Mirror saying, “The most important thing is that my gangster films often also have strong female characters. The character starts off as John’s girlfriend, then becomes his wife. So, I needed an actress who could play a 17-year-old college girl, a young wife and then, a strong woman in her 30s.”
He further said, “I’m an admirer of Kajal’s work, she looks lovely and has a great screen presence. I’m glad we’re collaborating on this film.”
The film is set in the backdrop of the 1980’s and 1990’s showing the transformation of Bombay to Mumbai. While most of the film will be shot in South Bombay, it is only the climax of the the film that will be filmed outside the city limits.
