The 53-year-old has already served 18 months of his term and will now have to spend three and a half years in jail. The court has given the actor four weeks time to surrender.
The fate of three big budget films is riding on Dutt with Zanjeer remake, Policegiri and Rajkumar Hirani’s Peekay, currently under production.
Dutt was also slated to reprise his role of a lovable goon in Hirani’s third Munnabhai film, whose future remains unclear now.
The successful franchise was to hot floors this year but in all probabilities, will have to be put on hold indefinitely.
Dutt had served one and a half years’ sentence earlier in the case of illegal arms possession and will be returning to jail to complete the rest of the sentence as per Supreme Court rules. He is entitled to a review petition however.
