Sanjay Gupta To Create A Gangster World Again After 6 Years
Sanjay Gupta has helmed some wonderful work like Jung, Kaante, Kaabil and when it comes to making a gangster film his name pops up first in our mind. The shootout at Wadala maestro is all geared to roll out his next, gangster drama, set in the 80’s and 90’s.
The story revolves around the key elements that turned Bombay into Mumbai, including the mill downing shutters, the murder of the key businessman, the Nexus between the politicians, cops, the underworld and the business fraternity and the drama around the eventual changes in the city’s landscape. It has taken the filmmaker six years to return to his favourite genre with a project he had been aiming for since 2013.
Talking about his next project the filmmaker told:
“It’s a space that has always intrigued me. The story of this city we live in has its roots in several events like the shutting down of the mills and the first ever murder of an industrialist, which was a key factor in changing Bombay into Mumbai. I’ve always enjoyed documenting the history of this city’s underbelly. It has taken me a while to research the subject and put everything in place. We are yet to finish casting but the movie will hit floors in July – August this year.”
