Hey there, my Bollywood buffs! It’s your favorite snoop, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, back with another juicy tidbit from the world of glitz, glamour, and scandal! Buckle up, because today’s gossip is hotter than John Abraham without a shirt! 😏

Blast from the Past: ‘Shootout at Wadala’ and the Infamous Manya Surve

Let’s rewind to 2013 when a certain gangster flick named ‘Shootout at Wadala’ hit the silver screens. The film, which took a deep dive into the life of Mumbai’s notorious gangster Manya Surve, featured the hunky John Abraham as the lead. Oh, and let’s not forget the ever-dramatic Kangana Ranaut as his on-screen love interest. The movie didn’t just succeed at the box office; it also left us with images and scenes that are impossible to unsee. 😜

Born on August 8, 1944, in Maharashtra’s Ratnagiri, Manya Surve was your average middle-class guy with dreams of making it big through education and a steady job. But life had other plans, and he ended up taking a detour into the underworld. This rollercoaster of a story is what ‘Shootout at Wadala’ is all about.

John and Kangana: Chemistry or Controversy?

Directed by the crime-thriller maestro Sanjay Gupta, the film released on May 1, 2013, and is based on Hussain Zaidi’s book ‘Dongri to Dubai.’ The production team included the powerhouse Ekta Kapoor, Shobha Kapoor, Anuradha Gupta, and Raju Mavani. The movie didn’t just focus on the gritty life of Manya Surve; oh no, it made sure to sprinkle in some steamy scenes between John and Kangana. And boy, did those scenes get people talking—and Googling! 😏

The cast list reads like a who’s who of Bollywood: Anil Kapoor, Tusshar Kapoor, Manoj Bajpayee, Sonu Sood, Siddharth Kapoor, and of course, our fiery duo, John and Kangana.

Box Office Bonanza

Sanjay Gupta has a knack for making crime-thrillers that stick. ‘Shootout at Wadala’ was no different. With a budget of ₹45 crore, it managed to rake in a whopping ₹83.70 crore worldwide. For those who have been living under a rock and still haven’t watched it, you can catch it for free on YouTube or stream it on Prime Video.

And remember, folks: When the movie’s name itself is a spoiler, you know you’re in for some high-octane drama!

Nisha’s Nutshell: If Bollywood teaches us anything, it’s that crime does pay—at least at the box office! And always, ALWAYS keep your earphones handy for those "awkward" scenes. 🎬😜
