His upcoming Mumbai Saga featuring Emraan Hashmi and John Abraham, has piqued our interest owing to the era it’s going to trace. Now, there’s one interesting development of the project is coming in and it’s about the actor portraying Shivsena supremo Balasaheb Thackeray.
Earlier, Jackie Shroff was supposed to be a part of Mumbai Saga but later due to dates’ issues, the actor humbly stepped down and veteran actor and director Mahesh Manjrekar was roped in as a replacement. And according to the latest reports flowing in, the actor has a huge responsibility on his shoulders as he will be portraying the late firebrand political personality of Balasaheb Thackeray.
The movie will narrate the story of the 1980’s and 1990’s, during which Thackeray had a strong political influence over Mumbai.
