In an interview with news agency IANS last year, the film's director Sanjay Gupta described Mumbai Saga as his most "ambitious project" and told IANS: "After 25 years and 17 films, I had to give my audience something bigger and better. Mumbai Saga is by far my most ambitious film which needed a visionary producer."
The film has been co-produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and Anuradha Gupta. Speaking about the project, Bhushan Kumar in an IANS interview said, "Mumbai Saga is our first in the gangster drama genre and who's better than Sanjay to direct it. The film is inspired by true events yet makes the characters so larger than life. The entire cast will bring so much to the table."
