Tight-lipped as he was ever since news about his Sanjay Dutt biopic began to hit headlines, Rajkumar Hirani loosened the grip on his cast members, permitting them to participate in promotional activities and discuss tidbits about their role, only recently. However, the actor evidently missing from promotions is Karishma Tanna, whose role is apparently inspired by Madhuri Dixit-Nene. It is likely that she will join the cast in promotional work after Sanju hits screens.

In a chat with mid-day, Karishma Tanna attributes her absence from promotional work to her shooting schedule for the television show, Naagin 3. "I cannot talk about Sanju. Currently, I am pre-occupied with my shoot for Naagin, and a major part of my time is spent on the set," she says.
