Actors have often quit films midway owing to their hectic schedules. The recent examples are Katrina Kaif and Shraddha Kapoor, who had to leave Street Dancer 3D and the Saina Nehwal biopic respectively as they were extremely busy with their other films. Another actor had to let go of a film due to his schedule and that-s Jackie Shroff, who was all set to star in Sanjay Gupta-s Mumbai Saga, reports Pune Mirror. 

Shroff was to essay the role of a Maharashtrian politician and Gupta was gung-ho about the project. But since he-s no longer a part of the film, the filmmaker has found a replacement in his good friend and actor Mahesh Manjrekar. The two have worked multiple times in films like Kaante, Plan, Musafir, Zinda and Dus Kahaniyaan. Gupta said, "I was really looking forward to working with Jackie but due to a date mess-up, he had to quit. Mahesh is my go-to person."
