Dutt biopic on hold?

- AGE CORRESPOND­ENT

Raj Kumar Hirani’s Sanjay Dutt biopic tentativel­y titled Dutt seems to have got itself into a dilemma over the content.

Apparently, Hirani isn’t happy with what has been shot. A source close to the project says, “Hirani wants to re- shoot some portions. There are several episodes from Dutt’s life that have not turned out the way they were planned. He is also not happy with having to gloss over Sanju’s love life.”

Apparently, references to some of Dutt’s more highprofil­e love interests have been completely obliterate­d, leaving the biopic looking compromise­d and diluted. The question now that looms large over the Dutt biopic is, how to salvage it from looking like a publicist’s job. The source continues, “It started off as a no- holds- barred honest and brutal look at Sanjay’s life. It’s not that any more.” Despite a roar start, Tiger Zin Hai seems to h run out of steam in face of the Padmaa storm.
