Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt reveals desire for romantic roles
Sanjay said, "Will do romance if any good film comes. My generation worked for mass so we are massy heroes. I did Saajan one time. It was a good film with good songs. I can do one more Saajan."
In the movie Saajan, Sanjay Dutt played Sagar, a disabled man. Directed by Lawrence D'Souza, Sagar's character gives up his love for his brother, played by Salman Khan. Madhuri Dixit was the female lead in the film.
Saajan is one of the few romantic films in Sanjay Dutt's career, as he has mostly starred in action movies. He's also been praised for his villainous roles in Yash's KGF Chapter 2 and Hrithik Roshan's Agneepath. In Double iSmart, directed by Puri Jagannadh and starring Ram Pothineni, Sanjay is playing another antagonist.
Talking about his recent negative roles, Sanjay mentioned that he enjoys them because they allow him to do "a lot of action." He added, "Negative is a good space to be in. One can do a lot. I get to do a lot of action. It's good that there is something to do for actors after so many films."
