Sanjay was more of a producer than Ajay in All The Best

While
Sanjay
Dutt's
unhappiness
with
his
other
recent
films
is
well-known,
he
has
come
out
of
All
The
Best
grinning
ear
to
ear,
and
not
just
because
it's
comedy.
Director
Rohit
Shetty
gets
emotional
talking
about
Dutt.
"You
can't
help
being
protective
and
affectionate
about
Sanjay.
Once
he
accepts
a
film
he
adopts
the
whole
unit.
Sanjay
was
more
like
the
producer
of
All
The
Best
than
Ajay
Devgn.
In
the
evenings,
Ajay,
Fardeen
and
the
rest
of
the
gang
would
be
chilling
out
in
Goa
while
Sanjay
would
sit
with
me
poring
over
the
next
day's
schedule.
He
was
bothered
about
every
thing,
from
the
food
for
the
unit
to
my
travel
plans.
Whenever
I
had
to
leave
the
Goa
location
for
Mumbai,
he
would
be
anxious
about
my
return
flight."
Rohit
can't
understand
how
many
recent
films
have
misused
or
underused
Sanjay
Dutt.
"He
signs
films
for
emotional
reasons.
And
it's
the
director's
moral
duty
to
make
sure
his
presence
is
justified.
In
All
The
Best
Sanjay
is
the
main
protagonist." Shooting
down
rumours
that
All
The
Best
had
to
pay
Rs.
50
lakhs
to
jump
the
queue
of
releases,
Rohit
says,
"When
Aladin
was
postponed
we
got
an
opening
and
we
decided
to
release
in
Diwali.
We
didn't
have
to
pay
any
money
to
prepone
.We
never
planned
All
The
Best
as
a
Diwali
product.
The
colourful
light
frothy
ambience
just
happened.
It's
my
cleanest
comedy
since
the
first
Golmaal
film.
Golmaal
Returns
had
some
double
meanings.
But
All
The
Best
is
totally
free
of
risque
elements."
He
hopes
all
three
Diwali
releases
would
do
well.
"I
certainly
want
Blue
to
do
very
well.
Asthvinayak
are
also
the
producers
of
my
Golmaal
series.
So
their
success
is
by
proxy
beneficial
to
my
film."
