Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgan and Emran Hashmi have been approached to play pivotal roles of the underworld dons who called the shots during that period, sources told PTI.

While Devgan has been offered the role of Haji Mastan, Emran has been approached to play the role of a young Dawood Ibrahim, sources added.

The script and screenplay is written by Luthra himself.

"The project is in pre-production stages and will go on floors later this year or early 2009. The casting is still in the initial stages and nothing has been finalised," sources said.

Haji Mastan even produced a few films and Amitabh Bachchan's "Deewar" is said to be inspired by his life while "Nayakan" is said to be based on Vardharajan's life.
