A feature film titled 'Dreaded Gangster' based on the life of alleged gangster Abu Salem, who is currently facing trials for serious crimes such as murder, extortion and terrorism, including the 1993 bomb blasts case to release in October 2016.

The film is extensively shot at locations in Pune, Mumbai, Dubai and Lisbon (Portugal), its writer-director Suvahhdan Angre said.

The film revolves around Salem, who was extradited from Portugal and brought to India, where he is facing a string of criminal cases, he said. The film focuses on Salem's early days at his native place in Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh, his migration to Delhi in search of a job, and his relocation to Mumbai, where he joined the infamous Dawood Ibrahim gang to take up petty crimes, and went on to became a notorious gangster with a gang of his own, Angre said.
