On his part, 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.”
