Sanjay Dutt has set his sight on portraying meaningful characters, similar to the ones played by Hollywood veterans Mel Gibson and Denzel Washington. The actor, who has turned producer with wife Maanayata on the Marathi film, Baba, says he has had a great career and would continue to add better roles to his varied filmography.


"I can't dance around trees and with girls [anymore]. I would like to do some great characters, like [those played by] Mel Gibson and Denzel Washington," Dutt said when asked what kind of role he wanted to play at his age. The actor, 59, who was last seen in Kalank, has an interesting line-up in Sadak 2, Panipat, Bhuj: The Pride Of India, Shamshera and the Prasthanam remake. When asked about the third instalment of Munna Bhai, Dutt said, "I pray to God that it happens soon. This question should be asked to Raju [Rajkumar] Hirani. Like you, even I am waiting for it to happen."
