Sanjay Dutt is undoubtedly one of the most popular and respected actors in the Hindi entertainment industry. The man has been winning the hearts of everyone right from the very beginning of the 80s decade and with every passing year, he has only gotten bigger and better over time. Be it roles where he impressed everyone as a protagonist or interesting and challenging roles in movies like ‘Agneepath’ where he was the main antagonist, Bollywood’s OG ‘Khalnayak’ has impressed us all in every department for real.
Right now, he’s all set to come out stronger and better in his next movie ‘Shamshera’ where again, he’s playing the character of the main antagonist. While he looks absolutely fantastic in the promo, not many knew that he was simultaneously battling cancer during the same. Karan Malhotra, the director of the film was quoted by saying,
“The news that Sanjay sir had been diagnosed with cancer came to all of us like a huge shock. We had no idea about it. He was talking, behaving and working as if nothing has happened. I guess that’s why he is where he is today, having conquered this too. Sanjay sir doesn’t let anything get the better of him. He is an inspiration on the sets for everyone. Having given so many years of his life to his craft, Sanjay sir leads from the front and his demeanour shows us all how to conduct ourselves on the set. He went about shooting Shamshera with the attitude that there is nothing he can’t conquer. He never mentioned what he was going through personally. He kept the mood on the set light. It is exemplary how he silently showed us that we too can face life’s adversities with a smile on our faces. To me, Sanjay sir is a superman and there is no one like him. I’m indebted for his support towards Shamshera. He is a constant guide and a mentor to me.”
