Sanjay Dutt in an emotional father-daughter film by Vinod Chopra

23 Mar 2017

Sanjay Dutt is on the way to getting back to the camera. He has said yes to three new projects so far. One is Siddharth Anands action film for which Dutt needs to get more physically fit. Another is the next film in Raj Kumar Hiranis Munnabhai series. However the third project that Sanjay Dutt has just taken on comes as a complete surprise. Dutt will star in a film directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Theyve earlier teamed up for two of Chopras directorial ventures Mission: Kashmir and Eklavya and have been very closely associated over the Munnabhai series which Chopra produces. Chopra, it must be remembered, has not directed a film in Bollywood since Eklavya in 2007. The temptation to do something with Dutt was really strong this time. Says a source, Its a very emotional father-daughter story with shades of Sanjay Dutts own relationship with his daughter Trishala. Vinod Chopra wants to tell this story as homage to the emotional side of Dutts personality.
