MERE ANDER GANGSTER HAI: SANJAY DUTT

SANJAY DUTT PROFESSES THAT HIS GANGSTER INSPIRATION COMES FROM WITHIN

The trailer launch of Sanjay Dutt’s upcoming film, Saheb Biwi

Aur Gangster was launched amid a lot of fanfare. The occasion was opportune, since it was only a day after his celebrated biopic, Sanju which is the talk of B- town at the moment. The film has earned a gigantic opening with 34.75% sales on day one itself, despite it being a weekday.

Therefore, it is difficult to not ask the man of the moment how challenging it was to play a gangster. To which the actor promptly replied, “Mere ander gangster hai shayad? So I play this gangster’s role very well.” The actor has been essaying dark characters right from the days of

Vastaav and they have undeniably been some of his best roles on- screen.

The actor further adds, “Bus main khandani hoon… to main ek khandani gangster hoon!” to diffuse the whispering in the room,

which was soon converted to laughter.

In another set of questions Sanjay Dutt was asked about how was it like sharing screen space with his dad in Munnabhai MBBS.

As shown in the movie

Sanju, Sunil Dutt’s call time for Munna Bhai MBBS was earlier than Sanjay Dutt’s, and Sanjay would come in only by 11 am. To which Sunil Dutt would always ask people on set, ‘ Hero nahi aya abhi tak?’”

Sanjay laughs as he confirms, “Haan hero hamesha late hi ata tha! I have learned to be disciplined from dad ( Sunil Dutt). I have also learned many other good things from dad,” he reminisces.

All said and done, Sanjay Dutt has a child- like smile on his face and he is also over his turbulent past, which may have brought his public image into a ad light. Needless to say, time heals all wounds and with age Sanjay Dutt is certainly a changed man now.
