New Delhi:
With the phasing out of locking restrictions and the resumption of filming, the gangster-thriller by Sanjay Gupta Mumbai Saga will resume filming in Hyderabad next month, said a report in Mumbai Mirror. The film, which features John Abraham and Emraan Hashmi in the lead roles, was earlier scheduled for June final release but production work was halted due to the coronavirus epidemic, which led to the national lockout. Now, after receiving approval from the Telangana government, the team Mumbai Saga will begin its 12-day filming program at Ramoji Film City in accordance with guidelines given by Producers Guild Of India, reported Mumbai Mirror.
Confirming the news, Sanjay Gupta told the publication: “Yes, we are planning to shoot at Ramoji Rao Film City as they have all the necessary facilities and equipment, including an internal team and technical staff, as well as hotels for the Mumbai team. Everything is contained in the studio premises and that reduces the risks. “
He added that the actors in the film, including Suniel Shetty, Prateik Babbar, Jackie Shroff, Gulshan Grover and Rohit Roy, agreed to resume filming next month because they want to finish the project to “present it to the public” as soon as possible. “They all worked very hard on the film and are happy to finish it in time so that we can present it to the public,” said Sanjay Gupta at Mumbai Mirror and added that “the well-being of the team is paramount. “.
Mumbai Saga is one of the few films to resume filming after locking. It was filmed in Mumbai before the nationwide lockdown was imposed.. Asked about the post-production work, Sanjay Gupta said that they were working on home editing but that they would still need four months after the end of shooting to “lock the final impression” of the film. “Yes, we have worked on a limited basis, but we still need four months from the time we finish shooting to lock the final print,” he told the publication.
Except Mumbai Saga, it has also been reported that Ranbir Kapoor Shamshera will also finish shooting after locking.
Mumbai Saga presents the story of Mumbai’s changing face in the 80s and 90s. Earlier this year, manufacturers revealed the looks of John Abraham and Emraan Hashmi in the film. Check them:

There is not much you can do with the style of your star.
What brings the character to life is his ATTITUDE.
