Can’t imagine Munna Bhai without Sanjay Dutt: Subhash Kapoor
Director of Munna Bhai MBBS feels punishment given to Sanjay Dutt is too harsh.
KARACHI:
The third film in the Munna Bhai series is unimaginable without Sanjay Dutt, says director Subhash Kapoor, following the actor’s conviction by the Indian Supreme Court on Thursday.
“I can’t imagine the Munna Bhai series without Sanjay Dutt. Unfortunately, things are not in our hands. I feel the punishment is very harsh. I am as surprised as you all are with this news,” Kapoor told IANS.
The first two films — Munna Bhai MBBS and Lage Raho Munna Bhai — were directed by Rajkumar Hirani and there is still to be a definite word on who will direct the third film. However, now with Sanjay’s conviction, progress on the film is yet to be decided.
“I will have to speak to the producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra about it. I can’t take a call on that. In the next two days, we will have a chat and discuss what needs to be done,” he said. “We have not started shooting our film yet, but just imagine what other producers and directors who have done films half-way with him, are feeling.”
