The John Abraham and Emraan Hashmi starrer Mumbai Saga has been creating a huge buzz for a long time. While the makers have been promoting the film a plea was filed in Bombay HC to stop the release of the film. But The Bombay High Court has allowed the film to be released tomorrow and refused to stay the release of MS on a plea filed by under-trial gangsters D K Rao and Ashwin Naik, and the widow and daughter of a slain businessman and alleged gangster Amar Naik. For the uninitiated, Rao & others had filed a petition against producers and makers of the movie 'Mumbai Saga' and Central Board of film certification (CBFC).
A bench of Justices Amjad Sayed and Madhav Jamdar said that the petitioners were coming to court at the '11th hour' and refused their plea for urgent ad-interim relief to stay the release. The petition stated that the movie is based on and depicts the underworld gangster's life. It then added that the movie claims to be inspired by true events and it violates Rao's right to a fair trial, the petitioners right to life and liberty and the right to privacy.
Rao and Naik claimed that they learned about the film through the media. Talking about Mumbai Saga, the film is directed by Sanjay Gupta and produced by T-Series.
Apart from John Abraham, it also stars Emraan Hashmi, Suniel Shetty, Kajal Aggarwal, Rohit Roy, Mahesh Manjrekar, Prateik Babbar, Samir Soni, Amole Gupte and Gulshan Grover.
