Sanjay Dutt has played some very serious roles in recent times. However, the actor says he now wants to do romantic films and is open to doing a film like the 1991 blockbuster Saajan, which also starred Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit. Sanjay expressed his desire to do a romantic film at the launch of Double iSmart’s song “Big Bull” in Mumbai.
Sanjay said, “If a good film comes, I will do romance.” My generation worked extensively so we are massive heroes. I did Saajan once. It was a good film with good songs. I can make another Saajan. Sanjay played the character of Sagar, a disabled man, in the film Saajan directed by Lawrence D’Souza. In the film, his character sacrifices his love for his brother, played by Salman. Madhuri played the lead role in the film.
Saajan is one of the rare romantic films in Sanjay Dutt’s acting career, as he has predominantly acted in action films. He has also done some notable work as a villain in Yash’s KGF Chapter 2 and Hrithik Roshan’s Agneepath. In Double iSmart, directed by Puri Jagannadh and directed by Ram Pothineni, Sanjay again plays an antagonist.
Regarding playing negative roles in his recent films, Sanjay said that he enjoys doing these roles as it gives him a chance to do “a lot of action”. “Negative is a good place,” he said. Anyone can do a lot. I get to do a lot of action. It’s good that after so many films, actors have something to do.
Double iSmart is the sequel to Ram Pothineni and Puri Jagannadh’s 2019 film iSmart Shankar. The film is scheduled to release in theaters on Independence Day, August 15, in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.
