Peekay to Zanjeer: The films will go on, with or without Sanjay Dutt

by Unknown on Sunday, 31 March 2013

Sanjay Dutt’s sentence in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts announced by the Supreme Court on Thursday does not bode well for the film industry, especially for his friends and the various films he is a part of. The same happened to the actor when he was jailed right about the time of Khalnayak’s release back in 1993. Even though the actor has been given four weeks starting 21 March, 2013 to surrender, it is not sufficient time to wrap up his filming work on his to-be-released films.

Whilst he has completed work for some of the films like Rensil D’Silva’s Unglee, produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, there will be repercussions on the films that are currently in the filming stages like the remake of Amitabh Bachchan’s 70s smash hit, Zanjeer, a supposed Rs 75 crore film, in which Dutt reprises the iconic role of Sher Khan, immortalized by the legendary Pran in the original. But the Zanjeer team is not too worried as they have two days of work left, namely dubbing and such with Dutt, and they hope to accomplish that before he goes to jail. Zanjeer also stars South actor, Ram Charan Teja and Priyanka Chopra in the lead parts and is scheduled to release in May this year. Read More
