In A Legal Mess: Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Hrithik Roshan

Salman Khan is accused in the blackbuck poaching case in which two blackbucks had been killed allegedly by Khan and his co-stars at Kankani in Jodhpur on the intervening night of 01/02 October, 1998.

It was during the shoot of the film ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’. The case has finally begun on 06 July, 2013.

Salman has to constantly appear in the Jodhpur the court for identification by the prosecution witnesses.

Along with him Saif Ali Khan, Neelam, Sonali Bendre and Tabu are also being cross-examined. Mahipal Bishnoi, counsel for the complainant and eyewitness Poonam Chand, said cross-examination of Poonam Chand has been completed by the counsel of Salman Khan.

Currently the counsels of Sonali Bendre, Neelam and Saif Ali Khan are cross-examining them.

On the other hand, a fitness consultant, who helped Hrithik Roshan train for his upcoming film ‘Krrish 3’, has alleged that the agency that hired him for the job has not paid his dues. Kris Gethin, a UK national, and his wife Marika Johansson, lodged a complaint at the Bandra police station yesterday.

As per the complaint, Sheru Aangrish, promoter of fitness company Sheru Classic Production, owes Kris £28,358 (Rs 28 lac approximately) and Marika £83,160 (close to Rs 83 lac).

Last but not the least, Sanjay Dutt has been accused in the 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blasts. Currently Dutt is out on payroll and if all goes well then he may be out prenatally.

All said and done, we wish that all our superstars get out of this legal mess as soon as possible.

Why was Maanyata Dutt partying at Marine Drive?

Ever since he managed to get a 14-day parole for medical treatment, Sanjay Dutt has been spending some quiet time with his family at his palatial Bandra pad. While he’s been keeping a low profile, we hear  he has been selectively socialising with a few well-connected friends. Just two days before Sanjay’s request for an extension of furlough came through, his wife Maanyata was spotted at a party thrown by a ‘family friend’ at his Marine Drive residence.

Several bureaucrats, police officers, politicians and even a few from Mumbai’s swish set were  present to hob nob with the Dutts — though there are conflicting reports about whether Sanjay was also present. If indeed he was, it’ll ensure he’s   sent straight back to the slammer with no hope for future parole. It will also spell deep trouble for the many government officials who were present that night. The host is known to be an influential person in government and political circles  and some even say he could have been instrumental in securing the extended parole for Dutt.

Interestingly, even while Sanjay’s presence is being so vehemently denied, no one is denying that Maanyata made make the trip from Bandra to Marine Drive for this bash. That’s odd. Why would Maanyata leave her husband and children home to attend a party alone on the opposite side of town just a couple of days before he was supposed to return to jail? Of course, that’s assuming she didn’t know the extension of parole was a done deal. We may have the answer, 

Sanjay Dutt gets 14 days of leave from jail

Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt, in prison since May, has reached his Mumbai home after being granted 14 days of leave. He told the press today: "I'm a law abiding citizen. Want to spend this time peacefully with my family."

The 53-year-old actor told jail officials he is unwell.

Mr Dutt was sentenced in March by the Supreme Court to five years in prison in a case linked to the 1993 terror attack in Mumbai, in which 250 people died in serial bombings. He was convicted for possession of an automatic rifle and a pistol that were supplied to him by men subsequently convicted for the bomb blasts.

The Supreme Court reduced his prison sentence to five years from the six-year term initially handed down.

The actor had served 18 months in jail before being released on bail in 2007 pending an appeal, so he was ordered to spend the next 3 1/2 years behind bars.

Mr Dutt had earlier been acquitted of the more serious charges of terrorism and conspiracy.

The 1993 bombings were seen at the time as the world's worst terrorist attack, with 13 bombs exploding over a two-hour period across Mumbai. Powerful explosives were packed into cars and scooters parked near India's main Bombay Stock Exchange and other sites in the city. Apart from the 257 dead, more than 720 people were injured in the attack.

Why did Sanjay Dutt’s play in Yerwada jail get cancelled?

Some reports suggest it’s because the Munnabhai actor posed with the jail authorities that irked the state administration while some say security reasons

Last week, Sanjay Dutt’s bearded pic rehearsing for a play in Pune’s Yerwada jail made headlines. The Munnabhai actor, who is currently serving his term in Pune-based jail in connection with the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts, was clicked rehearsing for a play that he was supposed to enact along with his inmates yesterday (September 26) and planned to raise welfare funds for the convicts.

Dutt was supposed to perform on Shahrukh Khan’s song Lungi dance from Chennai Express. There were reports that the Yerwada Central Jail authorities had roped in filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani to supervise the play titled Teemiratun…Tejakade (from darkness to light). The play was supposed to feature 20 prisoners apart from Sanjubaba and was schedule to take place at Bal Gandharva Auditorium in Pune, and Home Minister R R Patil was to attend. If everything was organised, then why was the play meant for a noble cause called off?

According to a tabloid report, the photograph where the 54-year-old actor is seen posing (happily) with the prison authorities assuming them to extend special treatment to the star has annoyed the state administration. Government sources suggest that Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Amitabh Rajan and other top officials felt that a movement was being used to glorify a jailed actor.

“They gave so much attention to Dutt and made him the main attraction of a prison activity. Tomorrow, they may try providing him better food and other luxuries inside prison. We cannot encourage such special treatment to any inmate,” a senior officer on the condition of anonymity informed the tabloid. On the other hand, insiders say jail authorities decided to abandon the show last minute citing security reasons. (quite bizarre, no?) The Policegiri star’s family including wife Maanayata Dutt, sisters Namrata and Priya with their husbands, Rohit Shetty and Bunty Walia were already on their way to Pune when they received an SMS informing them about the cancellation.

Sanjay Dutt gets birthday letters from Ranbir Kapoor, Rajkumar Hirani

Sanjay Dutt turns 54 today (June 29, 2013)

B-Town folks including Ranbir Kapoor, Rajkumar Hirani and Bunty Walia have penned letters for Sanjay Dutt on the occasion of the star's birthday. Dutt turns 54 today. These letters were posted so that it reaches him in Yerawada jail on his special day.

Says a source, "Several Bollywood folk want to wish him on his birthday. They want him to know that he is remembered and missed. As writing letters is the only way to communicate with him and greet him, they have expressed their thoughts for the star."

Adds the source, "It is highly unlikely that his family members can meet him on the day. As visits are restricted to once a month, their next meet is due in August."

It is learnt that Sanjay's close buddies and industry folk have addressed letters to him and sent them across to his wife Maanyata before they were posted to him.

Incidentally, for Maanyata's birthday on July 22, Dutt had plucked a rose from the jail garden, dried it between pages of a book and sent it along with a poem he wrote for her. Dutt surrendered on May 16 to serve a three and a half years jail term, remaining out of his five-year sentence. A Special Terrorist and Disruptive Activities court which heard the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts convicted him under the Arms Act for unauthorisedly possessing banned arms and ammunitions.

Happy Birthday Sanju Baba!!

Today is the birthday of the Munnabhai of Bollywood, Sanjay Dutt who is presently serving his jail term in Yerwada jail in connection to the 1993 bomb blast case. Sanjay is a prominent name in the Hindi film industry because of his films like Saajan, Khalnayak, Vaastav: The Reality, Mission Kashmir, Kaante, Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., Parineeta and many more. He has turned 54 today.

He has been wished by his Bollywood friends like Ranbir Kapoor, Rajkumar Hirani and Bunty Walia who have sent him letters on this special day. A source revealed, "Several Bollywood folk want to wish him on his birthday. They want him to know that he is remembered and missed. As writing letters is the only way to communicate with him and greet him, they have expressed their thoughts for the star." The source said more, "It is highly unlikely that his family members can meet him on the day. As visits are restricted to once a month, their next meet is due in August."

Born on July 29, 1959 to Sunil Dutt and Nargis Dutt, Sanjay debuted with Rocky in 1981. After going through a troubled young age because of his addiction to drugs, he was always under the protection of his father. Before establishing himself as a lead hero in Bollywood, Sanjay had to undergo a struggling phase in the industry. After his success with Saajan in 1991, finally in 1993 Khalnayak proved his acting talent at its best. He became a favourite actor among his fans in his negative avatar mostly. But the much-awaited fame of Sanjay arrived with the Munna Bhai series as it showed an unconventional Sanjay to his fans. He always maintained to stay in the headlines for both his wrong doings as well as his charitable efforts, simultaneously. We wish the Bollywood superstar a very happy 54th birthday.

Smoking and high BP take toll. Sanjay Dutt to be shifted to Mumbai?

Blood supply to legs has reduced due to which he's having trouble walking; may be moved to JJ hosp

Doctors say the actor is suffering from Peripheral Arterial Disease due to which blood supply to both his legs has reduced; have advised Yerawada Central Jail authorities to get CT angiogram/arterial angiography tests done on Dutt, for which he may be moved to Mumbai's JJ Hospital.

It seems excessive smoking and high blood pressure have taken a toll on Sanjay Dutt's health. He is in Yerawada Central Jail after being convicted under the Arms Act. A team of four doctors, who paid a visit to the jail on Saturday, conducted a regular health check-up of the actor, and advised the authorities that a CT angiogram/arterial angiography has to be done.

One of the doctors who conducted the check-up said that the actor is suffering from Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) due to which blood supply to both legs has reduced, and hence he's facing difficulty while walking -- something that Dutt has been complaining of in recent days.

`The condition may have occurred due to excessive smoking and high blood pressure. Dutt has been complaining that he cannot walk swiftly due to pain,` a doctor said. He added Dutt was suffering from the same ailment while in Yerawada Jail in 2010. Considering the pain he's experiencing the doctors have advised the authorities to get him tested.

Tests needed
According to sources, jail authorities have sent a proposal to the government seeking permission to shift him to JJ Hospital in Mumbai, as Sassoon General Hospital doesn't have the facility to conduct CT angiogram/arterial angiography. Doctors say the tests will reveal the severity of the problem.

When contacted, Medical Superintendent of Sassoon General Hospital DG Kulkarni said, `While CT angiogram isn't available in our hospital, the machines required to perform arterial angiography aren't working due to unavailability of some parts,` he said.

'No such plan'
However, Yerawada Jail Superintendent Yogesh Desai said that Dutt's medical check-up was a part of a routine. `I have no idea if he is suffering from such an ailment. Besides, there are no plans to send him to JJ Hospital for any tests or surgery,` he said. 

Speaking to MiD DAY, Dutt's lawyer Rizwan Merchant said, `Neither do I have any idea about the ailment, nor do I know if he would be brought to JJ Hospital for any test.`


What is PAD?
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a condition caused by the narrowing of arteries. It mainly occurs in arteries that supply blood and get congested due to plaque (plak) build up. Plaque comprises fat, cholesterol, calcium, fibrous tissue, and other substances in the blood. 

According to doctors, there are chances of formation of collateral veins to regularise blood supply. If the collateral veins don't form, then one needs to undergo surgery to remove blockage. In extreme cases, if surgery is not done, then the patient may get gangrene.

Sanjay Dutt comes out of Yerawada jail for check-up

Pune: Bollywood actor and star prisoner of Yerawada Central Jail Sanjay Dutt emerged from prison for the first time in more than two months for a visit to a hospital, official sources said Saturday.

Dutt was taken under tight security to the Sassoon Hospital, where he underwent a full general medical check-up by a team of four doctors.

Unofficial reports claimed that Dutt was had been ailing, but jail authorities and hospital officials remained tight-lipped about the details of the actor's medical check-up, which lasted around three hours.

This was the first time Dutt was emerging from the famous Yerawada Central Jail in over two months after his surrender before a Mumbai Special Court May 16 to serve the remainder of his sentence after his conviction in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case.

On May 22, he was shifted out of Mumbai's Arthur Road Central Jail and whisked off to Yerawada Central Jail to serve the sentence that remained.

During his hearing before the Special TADA Court, Dutt had sought home-cooked food, medicines and other facilities, which he was permitted for a month.

However, the Yerawada jail authorities objected to these privileges, citing the jail manual, since Dutt was serving time in prison as a convict, and was not an undertrial.

Subsequently, Dutt was taught to make paper bags, a tedious indoor chore, that security personnel thought would be best for his safety. He is paid around Rs 25 each day for the bags.

Sanjay Dutt’s staff breaks down hearing his monthly allowance in jail!

New Delhi: Sanjay Dutt, who is currently serving his sentence in Pune’s Yerwada Jail, reportedly gets around Rs 4000 as a monthly allowance from his family. Coming from an influential family- with 32 staff members 24x7 at his service- the actor’s helpers broke down on hearing how their employer is living on such a little amount.

“Sanju is allowed to get a money order which is worth Rs 4,000. His wife Manyata’s trusted aide visits the post office once a month to send the money to the jail authorities. They in turn give coupons to Sanju who uses them to buy stamps, envelopes, soaps, toothbrush and other basic necessities. Not everybody knew about this fact. One day, Manyata was waiting for lunch to be served in their Bandra flat but the food was not served,” a source close to Sanjay revealed talking to DNA.

“She waited with the children for a long time and then went to the kitchen to see what was causing the delay. She saw that the staffers were huddled and whispering while some of them were in tears. When she asked them what was wrong they told her that they were shocked to know that Sanju gets such a little amount,” the source added.

Some of Dutt’s staff members couldn’t believe that their employer was getting a monthly amount lesser than them.


According to DNA, Dutt is known for his big heartedness, as last year after the success of ‘Agneepath’, he gave Rs 25,000 to each member of his staff.

Apart from this, the 53-year-old actor is also said to have often shown his generosity on many special occasions by giving Rs4000 to 5000 to his crew members. Dutt’s staff members, hence, got emotional on learning about his meagre allowance. 

It was Dutt’s better half –Manyata, who had to step in and convince them that he was fine managing with the sum that had been granted to him, after which his staff resumed their work.

PoliceGiri Movie Review

Director: KS Ravikumar

Cast: Sanjay Dutt, Prakash Raj and Prachi Desai


Deputy Commissioner of Police Rudra Aditya Devraj (Sanjay Dutt) comes into this South Indian town called Nagapuram and takes up cudgels against the reigning don Nagori Subramaniam (Prakash Raj). The don has the top policemen and politicians in his pocket but somehow Rudra manages to outwit and outpunch him. He also finds time to woo and marry a pretty girl Sehar (Prachi Desai), whose only contribution to the film is to be the eye candy.

Policegiri is supposedly a remake of Vikram starrer Saamy (2003). That film allegedly started a trend of tough cop films down South. It’s a remake which has come a decade too late as all its punches have already been seen in films like Wanted, Rowdy Rathore and Singham. Ten years ago, Sanjay Dutt was lean, mean and agile and had a definite sex appeal. Now, he looks middle-aged. As a die-hard fan of Baba I cringed every time he had those romantic moments onscreen with Prachi Desai. Because you could see he wasn’t comfortable. And this was the actor, mind you, whose bare-bodied act in the item number Baarish ka bahana hai from Yalgaar is more talked about than Nagma's jhatkas.

He was slightly better in action scenes. Slightly, because he does retain some of his screen presence. Slightly, because the action scenes were so silly and over-the-top that even Jackie Chan wouldn’t have given them a measure of plausibility.

What Dutt is good at is when he stops taking his character seriously and lets go. His comic timing is still impeccable and his stand-off scenes with the villain Prakash Raj are the saving grace of the film. Prakash Raj is too brilliant an actor to play the patented villain in all these action flicks. He should stop doing it before he gets burnt out. He does seem to be having the time of his life and his comic punches do manage to instil some life in the film but that shouldn’t be the case, right. If all that the viewer gets to look forward to are the villain’s wisecracks then there is something wrong with the film.

Yes, it’s all very massy and catering to the front benches. It might even do well in B and C centres and single screens, but it doesn’t leave the impact of a Dabangg or a Singham. I’m sure Sanjay Dutt doesn’t want such films as a part of his legacy. So for the love of god and movies, he should say no to such proposals in the future. He should stick to Gandhigiri and not policegiri.

POLICEGIRI Music Review

Policegiri Music Review

tus with films like 

The fight between the virtuous and wicked has been the staple diet of several Indian movies since eons. Although the trend of remaking South Indian films in Hindi was widespread in the 1980s, it got an impeGHAJINI [2008] and WANTED [2009] in the last decade. Now veteran producer T.P. Aggarwal joins the growing list of film-makers remaking a winning South Indian film. The film in question is the Tamil hit SAAMY, which was subsequently remade in Telugu [LAKSHMI NARASIMHA].

Although a remake, POLICEGIRI brings back memories of DABANGG [Salman Khan] and SINGHAM [Ajay Devgn]. Like the above named films, the protagonist in POLICEGIRI is a cop, delivers thunderous dialogue, bashes up scoundrels like we swat flies and takes on the [corrupt] opponent in the closing stages. No prizes for guessing who wins!

I don't even wish to forewarn my readers about the essence of POLICEGIRI, since, I presume, most of you must've guessed it by now thanks to its high octane promos. Sure, it relies on the tried-tested-trusted recipe from commencement to conclusion, but I do wish to add that the packaging is polished, with a new brand ambassador endorsing this masalathon. But the unfortunate part is, haven't we visited similar themes in the past? What novelty does it offer?

Rudra [Sanjay Dutt] is a tough Deputy Commissioner of Police of a town. His mission is to clean up the town from gangsters and make sure that the public live in peace. Rudra adopts a new policy of adjusting with the local goons so that he can serve the people in an effective way. How he gets even with Nagori [Prakash Raj], a corrupt politician, forms the crux of the story.

Much like the iconic Chulbul Pandey in DABANGG, Rudra in POLICEGIRI is the present-day Robinhood, with a heart of gold. The cop here is *not* pristine white, but grey. He is *not* conscientious either, but accepts bribes and payoffs [of course, he offers an explanation and even produces receipts subsequently!], also calls himself a goon… as a matter of fact, he uses the law to his advantage. But the problem with the film is that it appears more of a collage of skillfully-filmed action sequences than anything else. The premise is archaic and the director relies too heavily on action to take the story forward. In fact, constituents like romance and comedy look forced in the scheme of things.

Director K.S. Ravikumar, who has a plethora of successful films in South, garnishes the film with features that the masses take pleasure in. The conflict between good and evil is riveting too and so is the pacing [rapid], but with not much newness on platter, the film comes across as the usual cop versus politician fight. The soundtrack is strictly okay, with 'Robinhood' [before the climax] having a catchy tune and energetic choreography. Action, one of the high points of the enterprise, is slick and the dash of Southern masala makes it all the more palatable. Dialogue are aimed at the masses and will be greeted with whistles and applause from fans of desi masala movies, especially those delivered by Sanju.

Sanju is absolutely at home in this out-to-please-the-junta character. In addition, it's the kind of role that the fans take to instantly and Sanju plays the game well. The antagonist, enacted by Prakash Raj, is equally buoyant. He tends to go slightly overboard at times, but it's a job well done by this proficient actor. Prachi Desai looks appealing, but doesn't get much to do.

Om Puri goes over the top. Manoj Joshi is as usual. Rajpal Yadav and Rajat Rawail's comedy track doesn't evoke mirth. Ehsaan Khan and Kishori Shahane Vij [as Prachi's parents] get limited scope. Mukesh Tiwari, Raju Mavani and Murli Sharma are passable.

On the whole, POLICEGIRI is aimed at the single screen audience mainly.

Jadoo Ki Jhappi belongs to Sanjay Dutt: Jacqueline Fernandez

Jacqueline Fernandez, who has done an item number Jadoo Ki Jhappi in Prabhudheva's Ramaiya Vastavaiya, is hoping to hit the bullseye with the song, which is inspired from the line popularised by Sanjay Dutt in the Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. series.

"I don't think that anyone can take away the phrase from him. He is the original and first person to have created this line. We are hoping our song will become as popular as his (Sanjay Dutt) line," Jacqueline told reporters here at the song launch.

"I was apprehensive to do the song as I had not done an earthy song before. It was out of my comfort zone. But when I heard the song I liked it. Also it was an opportunity to dance with Prabhudheva which I couldn't let go," she said.



 The Sri Lankan beauty rehearsed the song for a week before matching up to Prabhudheva's energy. She had a tough time with the ace choreographer-director, who is also a part of the song.

"A day before we shot for the song, I showed it to him... He was not happy and felt it was robotic. He told me to add heart and soul to the song, so I kept rehearsing," she said.

This is her second item song, and Jacqueline says she is not the item queen yet, as she is yet to do many more songs to get this tag.

Its Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's Kajra Re that is Jacqueline's favourite item song.

Sanjay Dutt to watch Policegiri with inmates at Yerawada jail

The makers of Policegiri are apparently planning a screening of Sanjay Dutt's film within the walls of the Yerawada Jail. 

Sanjay Dutt is serving his jail sentence just like every regular prisoner. And thanks to a particular jail policy, he will soon join fellow inmates to watch his upcoming cop caper inside the jail premises. 

Producer Rahul Agarwal is apparently trying to arrange for a screening of his new film starring Sanjay at the Yerawada Jail in Pune.

A source says, "Sanjay had raced against time to finish the filming of Rahul's next. Now, it's the makers' turn to do something for the actor." Rahul says, "Yes, we were told that the inmates are allowed one movie screening each month. We hope we get permission soon."

A letter a day from Sanjay Dutt to his wife Manyata from jail

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, who is serving 42-month jail term, is reportedly writing letters to his wife Manyata every day. The letters are sent by regular post services, as is the practice.

Manyata also keeps him informed about their children and the work being done by their production house.

Sanjay Dutt's wife Manyata is also replying to Sanju baba's letters. She keeps him informed about their children and the work being done by their production house. Manyata also visited Dutt in Jail, she went without the children.

The 53-year-old actor was taken to the jail in central Mumbai in May 2013, after he surrendered before the TADA court in keeping with the Supreme Court's deadline to complete his remaining 42-month sentence in the 1993 bomb blast case. He has already spent 18 months in jail.

The SC, in March this year, reduced Dutt's sentence to five years from the six-year jail term awarded to him by TADA court in 2006 for illegal possession of arms.

Sanjay Dutt married Manyata at a private ceremony in 2002 and has two children with her - Shahraan Dutt and Iqra Dutt.

Hit-and-run case: Salman Khan may join Sanjay Dutt in jail

The verdict on the Salman Khan’s 2002 hit and run case’ will be heard today in a sessions court in Mumbai. Earlier the date was fixed for 10th June but due to heavy rains in Mumbai, the court staffs were not able to make it to court in time. So the date of hearing was postponed from 10th to 24th June. Salman is appealing against the charges of ‘culpable homicide not amounting to murder’.

In the wee hours of 28th September 2002, Salman Khan under the influence of heavy doses of alcohol drove his Land Cruiser over the people sleeping on the pavement. One was killed and four others were severely injured.

Sessions court judge U B Hejib will be giving the verdict on the actor’s case. Earlier lower court had given the verdict on this case, against which Salman’s lawyer appealed in sessions court. According to his lawyer, the verdict of lower court was ‘erroneous, bad in law and contrary to evidence on record’. The lawyer told that the lower court magistrate failed to appreciate the fact that the actor did not had any intention of killing people and it was a pure accident and the actor should not be punished so severely. If the actor is found guilty then he could be sent to jail for 10 years of term. The lower court magistrate examined 17 witnesses and after recording their statements; he concluded it to be a case of culpable homicide.

On the other hand, public prosecutor, Shankar Erande maintains that the charges against actor Salman Khan are well placed as the actor was under influence of alcohol while driving. In India, law does not permit ‘drinking and driving’ beyond a permissible limit. Salman’s blood sample was tested and it was found that he had 60 mg of alcohol in his blood which is way ahead of permissible limit. Shankar also told that police bodyguard of the actor, Ravindra Patil warned the actor against his high speed driving on that ill fated day but he did not listen to his bodyguard and drove fast. Ravindra Patil is now dead but his statement has been recorded by the police.An activist Santosh Daundkar also sent a petition to the court requesting for allowing his lawyer Abha Singh to intervene the case from the side of Prosecution. The request was made under section 301 of CrPc. On the request of the lawyer, Salman Khan is asked by the court to be present for all his hearings.

Sanjay Dutt Dutt Refused By Jail Authorities For Home Food Despite Court Order

PUNE: It has just been a few days since Sanjay Dutt has been brought to Pune’s Yerwada Jail. The actor is serving his remainder sentence for being convicted in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts case. But the actor seems to be going through a tough time in prison.

Jail authorities have denied home cooked food for the actor and asked him to eat food provided by the jail authorities. The Supreme Court, has given special permission to allow Sanjay Dutt, have home food for a month, which the jail authorities seem to have no clue of.

According to the prison manual, only under trials, on medical grounds can avail this liberty. “Sanjay Dutt is a convict and cannot be given the privilege”, says a jail authority.

Sanjay Dutt had requested the court to allow him to have home food. He also had requested for carrying his basic necessities like toothbrush, undergarments, and medicines and requested for e-cigarettes. The Supreme Court, although denied permission for carrying cigarettes, had allowed Sanjay Dutt to take other basic necessities and also granted permission to have home food.

The actor has been spending quiet time inside the jail and mostly relaxing in his cell. He also has been following the jail routine separately from other inmates. The actor has completed several of his projects, which include ‘Policegiri’, ‘PK’ and ‘Unglee’, before surrendering to the TADA court on 16 May.

Nana Patekar says he won't work with Sanjay Dutt.

Nana Patekar

Award-winning actor Nana Patekar has spoken out against Sanjay Dutt in a rare outburst amid a chorus of celebrities voicing support for the convicted Bollywood star who returns to prison in May.

Patekar, a Bollywood veteran and three-time National Award winner, said he will never work with Dutt or watch his films.
"That is the punishment I can give him from my side," the 62-year-old actor told Marathi news channel ABP Majha at the weekend.

Dutt was sentenced to six years in jail in 2007 for acquiring illegal weapons from men convicted for the 1993 Mumbai bombings that killed 257 people, but has been out on bail ever since.

In March, the Supreme Court reduced Dutt's sentence to five years and ordered him to return to prison. On April 17, the court granted the 53-year-old actor four more weeks of freedom, allowing him to finish work on some of his films before serving the remainder of his prison term.
Dutt was cleared of conspiracy charges in the bombings but was found guilty of illegal possession of an AK-56 rifle and a pistol, weapons that he claimed were to protect him and his family during a period of rioting.

Patekar hinted that Dutt, the most high-profile of 100 people involved in the Mumbai bombings trial, had been let off lightly.

Twelve people received the death penalty and 20 others were given life sentences in the case.
"The nature of his crime is horrible. Why should justice be meted out differently for him?" Patekar said.

"The law is different for a poor man and different for me, just because I am actor? Why should that be?" he said.

Patekar's reaction is at odds with the Hindi film industry that came out in Dutt's support and called for him to be pardoned, describing him as a misguided youth and a victim of his star lineage.

Dutt, son of actor and former Congress minister Sunil Dutt and actress Nargis, enjoys goodwill in both politics and the movie industry. His sister Priya is a Congress lawmaker from Mumbai.
