Having previously helmed films like Aatish (1994), Kaante ( 003) and Shootout At Wadala (2013), filmmaker Sanjay Gupta is set to direct another gangster saga. Featuring John Abraham and Emraan Hashmi, the film will mark Gupta's next, after Hrithik Roshan- starrer Kaabil (2017). He will kick off the currently untitled movie — co-produced by his production house White Feather Films and T-Series — next month.

A source tells mid-day, "This is an out- and- out gangster drama that is set in the '80s. Even though it is a fiction, it will be inspired by a few key events that went into the making of Mumbai. These include the shutting down of certain mills, the murder of a key businessman, and the nexus between politicians, cops, the underworld and the business fraternity."
