Shootout at Wadala is a 2013 Indian action-crime film[4][1] written and directed by Sanjay Gupta.

[5] In the film, Manya, a diligent student, lands in prison for killing a gangster who attacked his brother, Bhargav, who eventually dies.

Based on the book Dongri to Dubai: Six Decades of the Mumbai Mafia by Hussain Zaidi, the film dramatises the encounter by Bombay police in which gangster Manya Surve was shot dead.

In a police van, Afaaque Baaghran listens to the story narrated by a gangster, Manya Surve, who is gravely injured by bullets.

Manya is publicly humiliated in the college by Inspector Ambolkar and ends up in Yerwada Central Jail.

Later on, both Manya and Munir escape from prison while they are working on a railway track and try to join hands with two brothers who rule Mumbai's deals.

The story next shows the death of Sadiq, an unscrupulous news reporter, by the Mastan gang.

A truce is called by Haji Maqsood, which is short lived as the Mastan gang asks Manya to finish off Zubair.

[10] On 27 January 2013, Balaji Motion Pictures uploaded a new version of the theatrical trailer, and trimmed nearly every dialogue from the film off.

Director Sanjay Gupta has stated his plans to make the third installment to the franchise, Shootout at Byculla based on the JJ Hospital shootout in 1992 by Dawood Ibrahim's D Company against the Arun Gawli gang for the latter's killing of Ibrahim's brother-in-law Ismail Parkar (the husband of Haseena Parkar).

He has also said that he will restart his movie Alibaug, starring Sunny Deol, Govinda Ahuja, Emraan Hashmi and turn it into the third sequel of the Shootout film series.

Also, actors Abhishek Bachchan, Shabir Ahluwalia and John Abraham have been rumoured to star alongside each other.
