Have a look at the post here—
The film which traces the journey of Bombay becoming Mumbai through its underbelly, punctuated by crucial events between the 1980s and 1990s, soaked in blood, sweat and tears, promises to end the audience’s long wait to watch a saga worth the big screen experience. Mumbai Saga also marks filmmaker Sanjay Gupta‘s return to his pet genre, the gangster-drama space, after eight long years.
Talking about the decision to open in cinemas, T-Series’ head-honcho, Bhushan Kumar, says—
As filmmakers, it’s our duty to serve the audience something worth their time and money. Films, as a medium of entertainment, have traditionally flourished in theatres. It’s time we go back to the big-screen experience. And nothing better than a grand-canvas film like Mumbai Saga, with a story that belongs to every citizen of this country. We’ve decided to unveil this venture where it truly belongs – at a theatre near you.
Sanjay Gupta, who has written, produced and directed Mumbai Saga, one his most ambitious and cherished films by far, says—
A year ago, when we were pushed into a space of uncertainty following the pandemic, I was certain that I had a story that everyone would love to watch on the big screen, enjoying the company of their loved ones with a bucket of popcorn. And here we are, ready to rock the cinemas with Mumbai Saga, a story that’s unlike any other.
The movie is being produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar (T-Series), Anuradha Gupta (White Feather Films) and Sangeeta Ahir.
I am super excited about this one! What about you guys?
