Although Sunil and Sanjay had appeared together in films before, they had never shared the same frame - they were both part of Sanjay’s debut film Rocky (1981), in which Sunil’s character dies early, and later Kshatriya (1993), where Sunil had a guest appearance. The onscreen relationship reflected what father and son felt offscreen as well.īut the biggest casting coup pulled off by the producer and director was the signing of Sunil Dutt to play Sanjay’s father. In 2003, the two of them appeared together in Rajkumar Hirani’s Munna Bhai MBBS, easily the role of a lifetime for the actor. However, as he grew older, he began to appreciate all what his father had done. Usman delves into his faltering connection with his father as Sanjay was closer to his mother, Nargis. The book also examines Sanjay’s relationship with the most important people in his life - his family, his wives (Richa Sharma, Rhea Pillai, and Manyata Dutt) and his colleagues. In his new book, Sanjay Dutt: The Crazy Untold Story of Bollywood’s Bad Boy, Usman takes a look at his pampered upbringing as the oldest child of artistes Sunil Dutt and Nargis, his battle with drugs and alcohol, his involvement in 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts (he was convicted of illegal possession of weapons and served a five-year sentence), and his uneven film career. After stars Rajesh Khanna and Rekha, author Yasser Usman has focused on the life of actor Sanjay Dutt, who has had several ups and downs in his life and career.
