However, there is one such director in the industry who is still working amid the lockdown and he is non-other than director Sanjay Gupta.

Today I begin the most crucial part of the film which is locking the final cut. Only this time my editor Bunty Nagi & me are miles apart instead of being in the same room. But thanks to the internet we are virtually together.
Talking about the film, Mumbai Saga is based on the events from the 80s and 90s, how the malls and skyscrapers replaced the mills in Mumbai. It captures the changing face of India’s financial capital i.e how Bombay became today's Mumbai.
Apart from John, Emraan and Kajal the film also stars, Prateek Babbar, Suniel Shetty, Gulshan Grover, Jackie Shroff and Rohit Roy. While the film is being produced under the banner T-Series and White Feathers Films i.e Bhushan Kumar, Krishna Kumar, Anuradha Gupta and Sangiita Ahir.

Well, the efforts of Sanjay Gupta is totally inspiring and we hope that other directors are also doing the same. Amid the coronavirus lockdown, people very quickly find the negative aspect however there are very few who accepts things and make most out of it.
