Despite producer Ekta Kapoor wanting Saif Ali Khan as the lead gangster Manya Surve in her next venture Shootout At Wadala, the director Sanjay Gupta's choice has finally won. John Abraham will be playing the role of the dreaded gangster in the film based on Husain Zaidi's story.

A joint venture between Ekta's Balaji Motion Pictures and Sanjay's White Feather Films, the project will also star Anil Kapoor as the ACP Isaque Bagwan, Mumbai's first encounter specialist. Isaque Bagwan, who shot down Manya Surve along with officer Raja Tambat on January 11, 1982.

Shootout At Wadala, a sequel or rather a prequel to the Sanjay Dutt - Amitabh Bachchan starrer Shootout At Lokhandwala, will also mark the return of Sajay Gupta to direction after 2006. Gupta last directed the Sanjay Dutt starrer Zinda.

A source close to the film told Mumbai Mirror, "Gupta's new film is a massive crime saga. It spans from late 60s to early 80s. It also delves into the war between the Pathans and the Ibrahim brothers (Dawood and Sabir)."

Although the film seems to be of the same genre as Shootout At Lokhandwala, a source said, "The film will have an ensemble cast which will be bigger than the one in the predecessor. Big names are being considered for the remaining roles.

A call on the final cast will be taken soon. Unlike Lokhandwala, Wadala will see the heroine playing a very important role."

Crime journalist S Hussain Zaidi has written the script for the film. Shootout At Wadala goes on floors in January 2012. Allan Amin, Resul Pokutty and Sabu Cyril have been appointed to head the action, sound and art departments respectively. The film will be shot in Mumbai, Pune and Ratnagiri.
