Haji Mastan is the old guy who dies in the begining of the movie COMPANY. He was afghan immigrant settled in mumbai and one of the founders of organized crime in mumbai.
its should be a fascinating story.An afghan coming to bombay[it was bombay then], and creating his own gang. The movie would be fine unless Ekta kapoor introduces his afghan saas,bahu,baa & kids who die and reappear milion times :)
I think in the film Deewar(old) Amitabh Bachchan's character is taken (sorry inspired) from Haji Mastan. i dont know about Shashi Kapoor and his MAA.
yes it seems haji mastan was once a loader in bombay dock and his "billa no" was 786 as shown in deewar.
