Sanjay not to work with Munnabhai in this lifetime
Features

By Raymond Ronamai
Trouble
between
actor
Sanjay
Dutt
and
director
Sanjay
Gupta
has
been
prevalent
for
years
now
and
so
many
other
members
of
the
industry
are
possibly
getting
impacted
in
one
way
or
the
other.
Presumably,
none
of
the
two
have
spoken
about
this
for
quite
some
time
now
and
one
wonders
whether
they
would
actually
have
a
conversation
so
as
to
sort
it
out
once
and
for
all.
“See,
I
have
not
spoken
about
the
issues
between
Dutt
and
me
and
I
am
not
going
to
do
that.
Am
I
averse
to
speaking?
The
answer
is
no.
But
then
I
will
speak
the
day
when
he
does",
says
Gupta
who
is
picking
up
ropes
all
over
again
to
get
behind
the
camera
for
his
next
directorial
venture
which
comes
five
years
after
Zinda.
Still,
does
he
ever
feel
helpless
after
the
exit
of
Sanjay
Dutt
from
White
Feather
Films?
After
all
some
of
your
best
work
has
been
with
Dutt.
“But
you
have
to
also
see
that
these
films
benefited
him
too
immensely",
reasons
Gupta.
“Whether
it
was
my
first
film
Aatish
or
another
production
of
mine
Shootout
at
Lokhandwala,
none
of
these
films
had
Dutt
as
a
vehicle.
My
films
are
always
bigger
than
the
stars.
Whether
it
is
Dutt,
Vivek
(Oberoi),
John
(Abraham)
or
Anil
(Kapoor),
it"s
the
films
that
they
have
worked
and
have
provided
them
with
a
great
platform
to
perform."
“I
don't
make
star
driven
films",
he
continues,
“You
don"t
see
Shootout
At
Lokhandwala
for
Dutt
or
Vivek,
you
don"t
watch
Zinda
to
see
how
well
John
has
worked
in
the
film
or
you
don"t
watch
Musafir
mainly
for
Anil
Kapoor.
None
of
these
films
are
vehicles
for
any
star.
I
am
proud
to
say
that
for
me,
it
is
always
a
movie
that
has
come
first.
You
watch
the
package
as
is
expected
from
Sanjay
Gupta".
Well,
audience
though
would
like
to
see
you
and
Dutt
coming
together
for
a
film.
“No,
that
is
not
going
to
happen;
not
in
this
lifetime
at
the
least",
Gupta
takes
a
firm
stance
here,
“I
am
sure
that
from
Aatish
to
Zinda,
my
filmography
is
done
from
A
to
Z
with
Dutt".
