This is one such story that needs to be said on screen.”
The film’s producer, Bhusan Kumar had praised the director and said, “Mumbai Saga is our first in the gangster-drama genre and who better than Sanjay to direct it. The film is inspired by true events yet makes the characters so larger than life. The entire cast will bring so much to the table.”
