I miss Sanjay Dutt for every role,says director Sanjay Gupta

Sanjay Dutt gave a break to Sanjay Gupta with Aatish after which they both worked together in several films. Subsequently,they formed a production company White Feather Films but had a fall-out during the making of Shootout At Lokhandwala in 2007.

“I am missing Sanjay Dutt for every role,” Sanjay Gupta told reporters at the music launch of Shootout at Wadala,which is a prequel to Shootout At ‘Lokhandwala.

Sanjay Dutt terminated his professional and personal partnership with Sanjay Gupta in 2007 amid allegations of financial bungling within the production company they had partnered since 2001.

The fallout was so bitter that in an interview,Sanjay Gupta had reportedly said that he would never be friends with sanjay Dutt in this life. To which Dutt had replied,Why only this life…We can’t be friends in any of my future lives.”

But sanjay Dutt and Sanjay Gupta patched up at Amitabh Bachchan’s 70th birthday bash last year.

Sanjay Dutt played an uber cool gangster in many of Sanjay Gupta’s films like Khauff,Kaante,Musafir,Dus Kahaniyaan which earned him the tag of the ‘Deadly Dutt’.

Now the filmmaker is gearing up for the release of Shootout at Wadala which will dramatise the first encounter by Mumbai police,where gangster Manya Surve (played by John Abraham) was shot dead in 1982 at Wadala.

“We have taken a lot of initiative and made it an action film,” he said.

Also,there were reports that adult star Sunny Leone has replaced Bipasha Basu in the film. But the producers deny such talks.

“Sunny is not doing an item number. It is only a cameo. Also,the song picturised on Sunny was supposed to be done by her only and not Bipasha,” he said.

Apparently,the song Laila and Sunny’s character have an important role in the movie. The track has been picturised keeping a real incident in mind.

The film features John Abraham,Anil Kapoor,Kangana Ranaut,Tusshar Kapoor and Sonu Sood in lead roles.

Co-produced by Ekta Kapoor the film will hit cinema houses on May 1.

“I think the content of the film is very good,its one of the great script came to me. I was very excited to shoot the film,” actor Sonu Sood,who plays Dawood Ibrahim said.

“Sanjay Gupta is a great director,it is his best film till date,” Anil Kapoor,who plays ACP Isaque,said.
