Since its announcement, John Abraham & Emraan Hashmi starrer ‘Mumbai Saga’ has been making waves.
Now, there is a buzz going around that the upcoming crime drama will have an OTT release.
According to Bollywood Hungama, this Sanjay Gupta directorial will reportedly release on Amazon Prime Video in the first quarter of 2021.
“Amazon has shelled out an amount in high double-digit figures to acquire Mumbai Saga, which has now made the film one of, if not the costliest acquisition of recent times,” a source revealed to Bollywood Hungama.
The source further revealed, “Talks are still on, but the moneys are on the table and the makers of the film are pretty happy with the offer. All that remains now is to thresh out the promotion details and sign the dotted line.”
The ‘Mumbai Saga’ makers have apparently sold the movie at Rs. 80 crores.
Set in the ’80s, this period gangster flick will showcase the city’s transition from Bombay to Mumbai.
‘Mumbai Saga’, which also features Gulshan Grover, Suniel Shetty, Rohit Roy, Samir Soni, Jackie Shroff, Amole Gupte, Prateik Babbar, and Kajal Aggarwal, among others, is being produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Sangita Ahir, and Anuradha Gupta.
Earlier, this movie was scheduled to hit the theatres on June 10, 2020. But was postponed due to Covid-19.
