The mid-week release of Godzilla vs Kong also impacted the collections of Mumbai Saga. On its opening day, the Hollywood film earned Rs. 6.40 crore which is much more than the first-day collection of recently-released Bollywood films. Directed by Sanjay Gupta, Mumbai Saga also stars Jackie Shroff, Suniel Shetty, Kajal Aggarwal, Prateik Babbar, Gulshan Grover among others. The film was initially scheduled to release last year on 19 June. However, much like several other films, its release date had to be changed due to the ongoing pandemic. The movie has been jointly produced by Bhushan Kumar, Sangeeta Ahil, Krishan Kumar, and Anuradha Gupta. It revolves around the journey of Amartya Rao, played by John, who becomes a prominent underworld gangster and wreaks havoc in Bombay. Before Mumbai Saga, John and Sanjay also worked together in Shootout at Wadala which released in 2013.:
