In between, Manya and his cronies drive all over Bombay during the night, smoking, drinking, dancing, dancing, dancing (there are three item numbers – Priyanka Chopra, Sunny Leone and Sophie Choudry) and uttering mc-bc words. In jail, Manya befriends Sheikh Munir (Tusshar Kapoor) who helps him escape and Manya forms his own gang - Hindu gang, to be precise - and challenges ruling underworld bhais – Dilawar Imtiyaz Haskar (Sonu Sood) and his brother Zubair Imtiyaz Haskar (Manoj Bajpayee). It showcases how the focussed Manohar gets wrongly accused of a murder that drastically changes his life for the worse, as he gets imprisoned for life. The story of Manya ( John Abraham) starts in a flashback narration when he recites his tragic tale to ACP Aafaque Bagraan (after surviving not less than 8-10 bullets!) of how he transformed from a college boy Manohar Surve to gangster Manya Surve.

Pictures of Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kartik Aaryan, Sunny Leone, Tiger Shroff and more actors will give you a hearty laugh Unlike most renowned gangster flicks, Sanjay Gupta’s Shootout at Wadala ( SAW) doesn’t majorly focus on Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar (who is one of the prime characters), but another ruthless gangster not known to many – Manya Surve - who decided to take on Dawood and challenge his supremacy over Mumbai.

The underworld has been a source of inspiration for several filmmakers who have sketched meaty characters based on dreaded gangsters, especially Dawood Ibrahim. John Abraham as gangster Manya Surve is the highlight of the film, while Anil Kapoor puts his heart and soul into reliving the honest ACP Aafaque Bagraanīollywood’s fascination with the underworld and glorification of real-life villains (of 1970s and 1980s particularly) on the silver screen is known to all.
