The film `Once upon a Time in Mumbai` showcases the Mumbai Mafia world which started with gambling, bootlegging and smuggling in 60`s and later spread its wings in 70`s and 80`s. The film shooting is expected to finish by January next year.

Hashmi, who was last seen in `Tum Mile` has done extensive research on his character for the film.The actor said, "Eventually it is the director`s depiction. But I believe working for the character sets. I am more of a studied actor than an improviser. I need to know the entire journey of the character before playing it with conviction.”
