Sanjay Dutt biopic shelved

Family and friends of Sanjay Dutt are getting ready for the end of his incarceration in October this year. And director Umesh Shukla (of OMG! Oh My God fame), has already signed Dutt for a film he will make as soon as the actor completes his jail term.

Earlier, it was Rajkumar Hirani who was supposed to helm Dutt's first post-incarceration film. Hirani was also supposed to helm the actor's biopic. According to sources, that plan is now indefinitely on hold.

Confirming these developments, Umesh says, "I met Sanjay two days before he returned to prison. And he loved the subject that I narrated to him. We now need to work out the details after he is released." Shukla says the film he plans with Dutt is not an actioner. "It is a human drama; not about muscles but emotions." He will make the film next year. "I'll first make 102 Not Out where Mr Bachchan will play a 102-year-old man. Only then, will I make the film with Sanjay."
