Sanjay Dutt looks in upcoming movie
Shera playing the 1970's Gujarat based Robin Hood don, late Sarman Munja Jadeja.
His look in the Soham Shah's directed film currently under
production will be a contrast to the menacing makeover of Kaancha Cheena
in Agneepath.
Shera also features Vivek Oberoi, Pakistani actoress
Humaima Mallick and Paresh Rawal.
The film is being made on a mammoth budget by
Shree Ashtavinayak Production.
Sarman Munja Jadeja(a leader of Maher community in Gujarat) was
an ordinary mill worker at Maharana Mill in Porbandar area. He became a
gangster and don after he killed the local gangster Devu Vagher, who was
hired by the mill owner to break a workers' strike.
Filming is already undershooting in Jaipur in a start-to-finish 50 days schedule. The songs in the movie will be shot in Mumbai.
A huge set has been set up for canning spectacular action sequences marking Dutt's entry in the film.
A massive coal mine with tunnels, chimneys and trains tracks have
been erected to match the ambiance and power of 1970's Gujarat and
Director Soham Shah says he could see nobody else but Sanjay Dutt in
this role.
"The character has a lot of power, and I wish to portray Sanjay
Dutt in lines of his esteemed father Mr. Sunil Dutt saab, in a very
earthy and 'Mitti Se Juda Hua character'. I wouldn't have made this film
if Dutt saab wouldn't do it, as only someone like him can carry this
kind of character!" says Soham.
The film is scheduled in summer
release 2013 .
