Rajkumar Hirani puts Sanjay Dutt’s biopic on hold

A bad news for Sanjay Dutt’s fans, who are waiting along with the actor’s friends and family for the end of his incarceration in October this year, is coming from Rajkumar Hirani. The 3 Idiots director has put the idea of coming up with the actor’s biopic indefinitely on hold. Rajkumar was also to begin Sanjay’s first project after the completion of his jail sentence.

Sanjay is currently serving a jail term in Yerwada Central Jail in Pune for the illegal possession of arms relating to 1993 Mumbai blasts case. The Supreme Court, in a judgement on 21 March, 2013, sentenced him to a five-year imprisonment. Umesh Shukla, the director of Oh My God, has already signed Munna Bhai for a film and will start as soon as he completes his jail term.

Shukla said, “I met Sanjay two days before he returned to prison. And he loved the subject that I narrated to him. We now need to work out the details after he is released”. He also added, the film he plans with Dutt is not an action flick. “It is a human drama; not about muscles but emotions”, he added.
