Kangana, too, has been part of many lovemaking sequences in Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai (2010), Woh Lamhe (2006) and Gangster (2006). John is not new to doing steamy sequences he has done quite a few intimate scenes in the past in films such as Jism (2006), Paap (2004), New York (2009), Aashayein (2010). In fact, Kangana even broke her glass bangles and hurt her wrist while shooting for the steamy scene,” informs the insider. “There were very few people present on the set. As far as Kangana is concerned, she was quite uninhibited.”Īdhering to the norm that is usually followed for shooting such scenes, this sequence too was filmed in a closed set. “He realised that this scene was integral to the plot as it appears at a turning point in the Manya-Vidya romance. The source adds that John didn’t need much convincing from the makers to say yes to the scene. In the film, John Abraham plays the iconic Mumbai gangster, Manya Surve, while Kangana Ranaut plays his girlfriend, Vidya. It is the only intense lovemaking scene between them and it appears with a romantic number, Yeh Junoon, sung by Pakistani singer Mustafa Zahid, playing in the background.” But John Abraham and Kangana Ranaut sailed through the lovemaking sequences in their upcoming gangster saga, Shootout At Wadala.Ī source says, “It is tastefully shot but is also explicit. That’s the night the D-Gang was born and Dawood swore revenge.Shooting for an intimate scene can be a daunting task for any actor. That’s the night Dawood Ibrahim took over as the leader of the gang. That’s the night that changed Bombay’s underworld forever. Sabir was killed at the Prabhadevi Petrol Pump outside Siddhivinayak temple in the dead of the night. On 12th February, 1981, Manya, along with the Pathans, planned, orchestrated and executed the most infamous murder in the history of Bombay’s underworld. The top gang of the city had come asking him for help and in doing so he would eliminate the other, and therefore become, as he said, “ For Manya, it was a clear shot to success. Manya was known for his dare devilry and strategic planning. The Pathans, taking advantage of the peace that had been brokered by Haji Mastan, contacted Manya Surve to eliminate Sabir. The first educated Hindu gangster whose reign of terror in the area of Agar Bazaar, Dadar, still sends a shiver down the spines of people I met who knew him. Thus was born the legend of Manya Surve, the first desperado in the Bombay gangland. Enraged, he decided to form his own gang. But till then the gangs were communal and being a Hindu, he was denied acceptance. After nine long years he escaped and returned to Bombay with the sole intention of getting into the underworld. Somewhere in the middle of this, a young man, Manohar Surve, fresh out of Kirti College got implicated in a murder that he did not commit and was sentenced to life in Yerwada Jail. Things got so out of hand that Haji Mastan, who was respected by both sides, was forced to intervene and call for a truce with both the sides swearing on the Holy Quran to stop the bloodshed. Blood was on the streets and law and order became a joke. Soon the war between the Pathans and Kaskar brothers escalated into the worst gang war that the city had ever seen. At their wits end in controlling the spiraling crime in the city, the cops decided to end the Pathan menace by backing Sabir and Dawood against them.
His name was Sabir Ibrahim Kaskar, and standing by his side was his younger brother and second-in-command, Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar. In the 70s, one young man stood up to challenge their supremacy and to end their reign of terror with terror. Often, retrieving their funds required muscle, which soon changed into ‘dadagiri’ or roughing up people violently. These men from Afghanistan had come to the city as money- lenders.
A story that gave birth to my forthcoming film,įrom the 1950s to the 70s, Bombay was ruled by one particular gang who did not believe in the law of the land - The Pathans. So when was it that the cops decided to kill and not catch? What was that single incident, which was the catalyst? Who was the first victim? Who was the first perpetrator? Who created the concept of encounter killings and why? Who was the mastermind? I set out to look for answers to these questions, and in doing so, stumbled upon a story more shocking than I’d imagined.
