Sanjay Dutt
Actor Sanjay Dutt is eagerly waiting to start shooting for the much-awaited third installment of Munna Bhai... film series. "I pray to God it happens soon but this should be asked from Mr. Raju Hirani (Raj Kumar Hirani) director of Munna Bhai... series. I think he would be in a better position to answer this question. I am eagerly waiting to start shooting," said Dutt.
Following the reports of sexual harassment against filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani, rumours have it that Munna Bhai 3 goes on hold until Hirani gets a clean chit. Sanjay Dutt, who was accompanied by his wife Maanayata Dutt, was interacting with the media at the trailer launch of Baba in Mumbai on Tuesday.
The movie's co-producer Ashok Subhedar, director Raj R Gupta and film's cast Deepak Dobriyal, Nandita Patkar, Aryan Menghji, Chittranjan Giri, Spruha Joshi and Abhijeet Khandkekar were also present during the event.
Sanjay Dutt made his Hindi film debut with Rocky in 1981. Since then he has been part of some memorable films like "Naam", "Khalnayak", "Vaastav: The Reality", "Mission Kashmir", "Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.", "Lage Raho Munna Bhai" and many more.
