A while ago, reports confirmed that Ajay Devgn is kick-starting ‘Son Of Sardar 2‘ with Mrunal Thakur and Sanjay Dutt. Some photos of Mrunal had also gone viral as this action comedy went on floors in Scotland. It was supposed to be Dutt Vs Devgn in the movie. However, a latest report suggests that Sanjay Dutt has been replaced in the movie as he was not granted a visa to travel to the United Kingdom.
According to Mid-day, Dutt’s visa application was rejected due to his arrest under the TADA and the Arms Act. Sanjay was arrested for the possession of illegal weapons procured from the other accused in the 1993 Bombay bombings. The actor completed his jail term in 2016, however, that incident continues to surround him and cause trouble for his visa and movies now as well. Now Ravi Kishan has replaced Dutt.
The news portal has quoted a source saying, “Ever since his arrest in 1993, while Sanju has travelled to the US, he has applied for a UK visa multiple times, but never got one. The ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ shoot would have been his first trip to the UK. However, after Ajay’s team found out that the senior actor’s visa request had been rejected, they replaced him with Ravi Kishan.”
Kishan recently won a lot of praise for his performance in ‘Laapataa Ladies’ and that apparently has played a role in his casting. However, this raises questions about Dutt’s presence in ‘Housefull 5’ which also is supposed to be shot in London. But according to the report, all of Dutt’s portions will be shot in Mumbai while the shoot with the rest of the cast begins in London.
Sanjay Dutt’s latest film ‘Ghudchadhi’ is set to release on August 9 and it sees hi re-unite with Raveena Tandon.
