Sanjay Dutt: Politics over. Back to movies

Sanjay Dutt is a survivor. Any lesser person wouldn’t have scraped through the stuff that Sanju’s been through, that’s for sure. He is perhaps the first of the real Bollywood bad boys but he’s paid a very high price for his rebelliousness…. as we all know.

Sanjay has survived only because he learns fast. After the Samajwadi Party fared badly in the Lok Sabha elections, Sanju realized that politics couldn’t be his refuge, after all, and that he should get back to doing what he does best: acting, while he still has a few good years left.

At 50 plus, you can’t be too hopeful in Bollywood, and Sanju has been very lucky to be included in a mega-budget movie like Blue.

Of course, we all know why Dutt junior took to politics. It wasn’t to become the Prime Minister of India. I am sure our Munna Bhai would be happy if he just managed to stay out of jail.

But Sanju should realize that he’s a nobody in politics, and if he loses ground in Bollywood and gets reduced to being Zero No.1, then even Mr Amar Singh might not want to be his friend any more.

So, all in all, a smart move Sanju. But don’t do an overkill of movies, please! Much as we respect your resilience and courage, there’s only so much of haggardness we can take!
