Sanjay Dutt

Actor Sanjay Dutt seems to have hit jackpot with his latest big screen outing in Agneepath as the baddie Kaancha Cheena. And it’s hardly surprising to know that the actor is now being offered several more negative roles too. But for Sanjay, the criteria is not whether it’s a positive role or a negative one, but all that matters is that the role be an interesting one. A source close to the actor reveals that in the past few days itself, the actor has heard some scripts which called for him being the baddie, but the actor’s in no rush to cash in on the villain image. “The genre of a film or the kind of role doesn’t matter to Sanjay. As long as he finds the role interesting, he’s game for it,” says the source.
However, buzz is that the actor is now trying to concentrate only on projects that he’s confident of being commercially viable, and not take them up just because they happen to be offers from friends.
“In the past Sanjay has often done roles as a favour to friends, even when he was well aware that the film has no potential of ever working at the BO, but now he’s trying to curb those choices on the insistence of his close associates. Of course, he will still continue to work with friends, but not at the cost of his performances,” adds the source.
“Sanjay finds it hard to turn down his friends and that’s often led to professional mistakes in the past too. But on the insistence of his close aides now, he is being very choosey about his roles now and only wants to be associated with good projects. That’s also the reason why the actor’s not rushing into every film that’s coming his way.”
But apart from the films, keeping the actor busy is Sanjay’s recently launched sports league alongside actor Shilpa Shetty and hubby Raj Kundra. And though the actor’s actively involved in the project, insiders insist that films will always be a priority for him.
“The league is a business venture for him and though he’s taking a rather keen interest in it, films will always come first for him,” informs the source. “He is in a very good phase of life. He has some interesting films coming up including Zilla Ghaziabad and Department that he’s very excited about. That apart, the Munnabhai installment is set to start soon,” adds the insider.
Talking about his upcoming projects, Sanjay confirms, “Yes, the line-up is very exciting. I think every film has something interesting to offer and I’m looking forward to all of them.”
