Sanjay Dutt told last month that he will be taking a break from work due to health issues. After he was diagnosed with stage three lung cancer he has been spotted outside Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital where he is being treated currently in Andheri. On the afternoon of 6th September 2020, Dutt stepped out of his Bandra home and went to a different direction, Yash Raj Studios in Andheri.
The actor is shooting for his portions of Karan Malhotra’s Shamshera from two days which is his first shoot since the illness. An insider said, “Ranbir Kapoor had finished shooting his scenes last month. sanjay sir had two days’ patchwork shoot left before Karan could call it a wrap on the dacoit drama. Producer Aditya Chopra had requested the actor to take his time before returning to the set.”
As the actor is having frail health, the producer made sure that the shoot was done with less crew on the set and abided by strict safety measures. “Everyone involved had to undergo a COVID test before s/he joined the senior actor on the floor,” the insider added. Dutt wants to complete all his pending projects which include dubbing for Bhuj: The Pride of India and shooting KGF- Chapter 2 which will mark his debut in South Indian cinema before going to the US.
He wanted to fly to New York as soon as he got his US visa last month but he has changed his plans of doing so. “After several discussions, Sanju and Maanayata have decided to pursue treatment at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in December as his children, Shahraan and Iqra, will have their winter holidays then. Sanju wants his kids by his side as he battles the illness“, said a person close to the actor. Until then, Dutt will be continuing the treatment in Mumbai. Maanyata has not yet commented anything on Dutt’s US visit.
