‘Mumbai Saga’ was initially scheduled to release in June last year, but since the cinema halls were shut during the nationwide lockdown, there were several reports that the makers were pondering over a digital release. The film has an ensemble cast. After ‘Zinda’ and ‘Shootout at Wadala’, John Abraham has collaborated with Sanjay Gupta for ‘Mumbai Saga’. The film also stars Emraan Hashmi, Jackie Shroff, Gulshan Grover, and others in key roles. John will be seen playing the role of Ganpat Ram Bhonsle in the film that is set in the '80s-'90s and chronicles how Bombay became Mumbai. The story is inspired by real incidents.
