Sanjay Dutt in a mad rush

Sanjay Dutt began shooting for his home production Hasmukh Pighal Gaya on Thursday at the Lokhandwala Back Road in Andheri. The star has about 13 days to go before his extension is over.

On April 17, the Supreme Court given him four more weeks to surrender to serve the remainder of his five-year jail term for illegally possessing arms in the 1993 Bombay serial blasts case. Dutt is doing a guest appearance in the comedy directed by debutant Sejal Shah.

Says a source, "It is a two-day shoot for the film. He will then finish his other projects." Adds the source, "As Baba has few days left, he is finishing everything right now as he wants to spend time with his family. The mood on the sets is very sombre. He is not showing it but as each day passes, his anxiety increases. We don't want to hold him on the sets for too long."
