In a statement earlier, Sanjay Gupta said, "25 years, 17 films later I had to give my audience something bigger and better. Mumbai Saga is by far my most ambitious film which needed a visionary producer. And I am grateful to Bhushan Kumar for putting his faith and might in it. It is one such story that needs to be said on screen."

Not just that, Emraan Hashmi's look playing a cop in the film also went viral on social media. This is the first time Emraan will turn a cop. The actor said he wanted to do a commercial film and the multistarrer seemed like the perfect choice. "I'm looking forward to doing a commercial film again. 'Mumbai Saga' is a 'massy' film and I've not done such movies for the longest time."

Set in the 1980s-'90s, the film revolves around all that went into transforming Bombay into Mumbai. The film also features John Abraham, Jackie Shroff, Suniel Shetty, Amol Gupte, Prateik Babbar, Gulshan Grover, and Rohit Roy. It will hit the theatres on June 19, 2020.
