Sanjay Dutt made his Bollywood debut in 1981 with the film, ‘Rocky’, where he was accompanied by his father, Suniel Dutt, who was a renowned actor then. However, later Sanjay Dutt once revealed that it was a ‘Hard task’ working in the film with his father, and also how got scolded by his father once at the sets.
He said, “Working on Rocky was a hard task and especially because my father was the director. We didn’t use to have a lunch break. Once his assistant, Farooq Bhai came and told me that we don’t have a lunch break but I could go and have something. While I was eating the food dad was ready with the shot and asked where I was. Farooq Bhai told him I had gone for lunch and my dad got angry and told him to call me right away. He started shouting at me, asking ‘Who told you to go have lunch, did I say it is a break?’ and all the stuff. He said, ‘Don’t think you are Sunil Dutt’s son.’
He added, “I used to call him ‘sir’ on the sets so I told him it was Farooq sir who told me to and then when he asked Farooq Bhai he denied it. He started saying, ‘Kids these days don’t even think of asking for permission just want to get on with their own stuff’. He started saying that ‘you should have asked Sunil sir before eating, who told you to eat without permission, and in my head, I was like, ‘You told me to eat,” as stated in Pink Villa.
