Sanjay Dutt opens up about the possibility of a sequel to the 'Dutt' biopic
Sanjay Dutt, who is currently shooting for 'Bhoomi' in Agra, recently in an interview with a leading tabloid opened up about his struggle with substance abuse. Talking about his struggle with drugs, the actor revealed, "I was among the lucky few who could be sent out of the country to a rehab centre in the US but how many families can afford that? So, we should have facilities for them here and I’d like to go out there and talk to these girls and boys, rich and poor. Maybe I can be an inspiration because if I could get out of it, anybody can.”

Sanjay is currently shooting for 'Bhoomi', his first film post the completion of his jail term, got candid about being on the sets again. "For 25 years I worked under stress, now finally the pressure is off my head and thank God for that. It’s beautiful!” asserted the actor. Sanjay is known to be a spontaneous actor, so when quizzed about facing the camera again, the actor said, “It was weird for around 20 minutes to half an hour since I hadn’t acted in five years. But then it was fine, it’s easy.”

When asked about Ranbir Kapoor stepping into his shoes for the 'Dutt' biopic, the actor said, "It feels good to see Ranbir and know that a biopic is being made on me. I think it’s been an interesting life.” Talking about the possibility of having a second part to his biopic, the one that shows his drugs phase, the actor before signing off said, "You’ll have to ask Raju that, but I think it will.”
