Sanjay Dutt replaced in Son of Sardaar 2, which is being shot in Scotland, after his UK visa application is rejected; Ravi Kishan steps in
Sanjay Dutt
In July, mid-day reported that Sanjay Dutt had been roped in to play the antagonist in Son of Sardaar 2, starring Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur (Dutt vs Devgn again, July 2). As planned, Vijay Kumar Arora’s action comedy went on floors in Scotland on July 24. But not everything has moved like clockwork. mid-day has exclusively learnt that Dutt had to be replaced in the sequel to Son of Sardaar (2012). Reason? We hear the senior actor was not granted the visa to travel to the United Kingdom.
It is believed that Dutt’s visa application was rejected because of his incarceration in the past. In April 1993, the actor was arrested under the TADA and the Arms Act and convicted later for violation of Arms Act for possession of illegal weapons procured from the other accused in the 1993 Bombay bombings. He was sentenced to five years in prison. In March 2013, the Supreme Court upheld Dutt’s five-year sentence, and after multiple bails, he finally completed his jail term in 2016.]
