Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt adopted
his father Sunil Dutt’s dacoit avatar
from 1963 film “Mujhe Jeene Do” for upcoming movie “Son Of Sardar” (SOS).
The actor had plans of remaking his father’s film “Mujhe Jeene Do”, but the plan has been incorporated in the Ajay Devgn-starrer “SOS”. If a reliable source is to be believed, Sanjay’s clothes and make-up have been modelled around his father’s look. However, this wasn’t the original plan.
“When Sanjay signed on for ‘SOS’, he didn’t even know what his role was. He just did it blindly for his friend Ajay Devgn, who’s producing the film. No particular look or get-up was planned for Sanjay initially. But then ‘Agneepath’ came.”
“In the film, the special look went a long way in making Sanjay’s character a success. That’s when Ajay suggested a special get-up for his pal Sanjay to director Ashwin Dheer,” said a source. While various looks were being discussed, Sanjay suggested his father’s “Mujhe Jeene Do” look, which had fascinated him since he was a child. Dheer says the “Mujhe Jeene Do” look went a long way in giving character and personality to Sanjay Dutt’s part in “SOS”. “Mr.Dutt plays Sonakshi Sinha’s over-possessive brother. Yes, his look and character bear a definite resemblance to Sunil Dutt sahab in ‘Mujhe Jeene Do’. In fact, we put Sanjay on a horse after a very long time. When I pointed it out to Mr.Sanjay Dutt, he got very emotional,” said the director. “SOS” will hit the screens Nov 13. (IANS)
