Emraan Hashmi's upcoming film is Sanjay Gupta's directorial titled Mumbai Saga. In the film, the actor plays the role of an Encounter Specialist. Now, the makers of Mumbai Saga has unveiled movie stills featuring Emraan in his first look. In the photos, Emraan is seen giving a fierce look while pointing a gun at someone in Mumbai Police uniform. While in the second photo, he is seen driving the police car while donning the uniform and Aviator sunglasses.

Sanjay tweeted the first look by writing, "Everyone on team MUMBAI SAGA was anxious about how @emraanhashmi would pull off the deadly cop’s look. Just look with what style he has pulled it off." While for the second still, he wrote, "#MUMBAISAGA One of my favourite moments from the film. Grit and determination to get the bad guys at any cost writ large on his face."

Talking about playing a cop and not a gangster in Mumbai Saga, Emraan said in a statement, "I rejected a lot of offers which were in the same zone as Shoaib Khan from Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, maybe, I was waiting for Sanjay's film. But when Sanjay said he is offering me the role of a cop, I was a little taken aback."

On his character, Emraan shared, "I was hoping it's not that and to my surprise, the way the part has been penned and the kind of character I play, he is almost like a gangster. An encounter specialist, he can put a bullet into someone if it accomplishes his motive. He is a badass character in a dog-eat-dog kind of world wherein this guy is the wolf. No one would imagine that I am playing a cop but for this policeman, he is, as I said, like a gangster. Be it by fair or unfair means, he will bring down the guy he is going for. So, it's kind of home turf but it's a very entertaining pitch for a character in a pure Sanjay Gupta style, who has created his brand of cinema. And as an actor, I am always up for doing something different."

Mumbai Saga stars John Abraham, Emraan Hashmi, Suniel Shetty, Mahesh Manjeraker, Kajal Aggarwal and Prateik Babbar in lead roles.
