Has maverick director KS Ravikumar's Bollywood dream shattered? Is his Hindi debut film Policegiri in trouble with its lead actor Sanjay Dutt being sentenced to five years in jail for the 1993 Mumbai blast case? These are questions that are propping up in the minds of the actor as well as the director's fans. In fact, film goers are even debating the same on social networking sites and fan pages.

Well, the answer seems to be no! According to the sources, Sanjay Dutt has completed 80% of the shooting. If the actor can attend five more days of the shooting, KS Ravikumar would feel relieved as the entire shooting will come to an end in less than a week. However, the post-production work might be difficult to wrap up if the actor, who has multiple projects to finish before he surrenders, cannot allot more days for Policegiri and dedicate more time on the upcoming Bollywood flick.

As this is his first priority, Sanjay Dutt is likely to finish the project in the next few weeks. It has to be noted that the court has asked him to surrender himself in four weeks. Continue reading the story on the slideshow...
