Sanjay Dutt is a loveable rascal: David Dhawan

Director David Dhawan, who is directing actor Sanjay Dutt in his new laugh riot movie Rascals, calls him a lovable rascal and prankster. The Bollywood helmer says that he had a blast on the shooting sets, but he faced food problem on the sets of the movie due Sanju Baba's pranks.

Talking to the Times of India, David Dhawan has shared his experience with Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgn while shooting his upcoming film Rascals. The director says that Sanju and Ajay are big pranksters and they were always conspiring against him. Especially, Sanju made his life miserable on the sets as he never allowed him to eat anything peacefully during lunch break.

David Dhawan says that he has developed a kind of of phobia about Sanjay Dutt. “So much so, that even when I"m eating at home I am scared Sanju might appear from somewhere and stop me! Even when I visit his place, he serves me diet food," David tells the TOI.

However, David and Sanjay have a close bonding of 25 years and the duo has done several films like Jodi No. 1, Ek Aur Ek Gyarah, Haseena Maan Jayegi, Hum Kissise Kum Nahin and Shaadi No.1. Talking about their bonding, David says, “I don"t have a professional relationship with Sanju. He is more like family. But he is also quite a rascal! An amazing and loveable rascal, but a rascal nonetheless."
