What is Sanjay Gupta’s next film all about?

The Shootout At Wadala director is all set to make the most ambitious project of his life, this one also with John Abraham and Anil Kapoor, among others…
Sanjay Gupta is known for making dark and gritty films. After giving us gangster flicks like Kaante, Shootout At Lokhandwala (SAL) and Shootout At Wadala (SAW), the 43-year-old director is all set to make the most ambitious project of his life. The new film will be called Mumbai Saga, and will be set in the 1980s and 1990s. It is planned as a complete package of action, drama, politics and betrayal.

“Mumbai Saga is the title of my new film. It’s an epic crime saga set in the 1980s and 1990s,” Gupta posted on Twitter. After tasting box office success with the John Abraham starrer Shootout At Wadala, Gupta wants to repeat the cast of SAW for Mumbai Saga. We hear that John Abraham, Sonu Sood, Anil Kapoor, Manoj Bajpayee and Tusshar Kapoor will be retained in this new thriller. “For now most of the cast of Shootout at Wadala will be retained in Mumbai Saga and some new will also join. Too soon to reveal more. @SonuSood, can’t wait to start bro. So miss being on set with all you guys. We’ll rock n roll again,” tweeted Gupta.

Now we are waiting to see if Gups can make the story look dramatically different without it making like a replica Shootout At Wadala! Even more suspenseful: Can he actually make John Abraham act this time around?

IIFA 2013: Jacqueline Fernandez, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Sridevi sizzle on the green carpet

It was women power in full display at IIFA 2013 as Jacqueline, Madhuri, Sridevi, Gauhar Khan and others strutted the green carpet

Jacqueline Fernandez struck the perfect pose in red, showing off her slender figure. Sridevi looked glamorous in green and Madhuri Dixit-Nene was every bit the diva in a gorgeous ethnic number. Neha Dhupia was her experimental self, while Dia Mirza looked radiant, walking arm in arm with her beau, but we really liked Gauhar Khan’s look for the evening.

The gentlemen chose black or grey – Arjun Kapoor, Ayushmann Khuranna, Sonu Sood, Neil Nitin Mukesh (again, the Johny Bravo look is a big NO!), Anurag Basu and Zayed Khan opted for black while Prabhudeva and Anupam Kher wore grey suits. Boman Irani and Vir Das certainly were in a funny mood as they were photographed wearing turbans (the look for one of their gags, we suppose). Anurag Basu was practicing his post awards smile and wore his heart on his sleeve.

Macau certainly is shining bright this night with all the Bollywood stars descending on the green carpet.
