Sanju does a Sunil for SOS

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt adopted his father Sunil Dutt’s dacoit avatar from 1963 film Mujhe Jeene Do for upcoming movie Son Of Sardar (SOS).
The actor had plans of remaking his father’s film Mujhe Jeene Do, but the plan has been incorporated in the Ajay Devgn-starrer SOS. If a reliable source is to be believed, Sanjay’s clothes and make-up have been modelled around his father’s look.
However, this wasn’t the original plan.
‘When Sanjay was signed on for SOS, he didn’t even know what his role was. He just did it blindly for his friend Ajay Devgn, who’s producing the film. No particular look or get-up was planned for Sanjay initially. But then Agneepath came.,’ says director Ashwin Dheer.
While various looks were being discussed, Sanjay suggested his father’s Mujhe Jeene Do look, which had fascinated him since he was a child.
Dheer says the Mujhe Jeene Do look went a long way in giving character and personality to Sanjay Dutt’s part in SOS. In 1990, Sanjay did Jeene Do, which was a straight homage to his Mujhe Jeene Do.
‘Now is the time when Sanjay Dutt is discovering the wonder that his father was, and so he is able to convey his deep admiration in his performance,’ said Dheer.
Sanjay has a hand-to-hand, fist-to-fist combat with Ajay in SOS, and he reflects his father’s personality very visibly in the scene.SOS releases November.
