Sanjay Dutt To Play Alia Bhatt's Father In The Sequel To 'Naam'?
Sanjay Dutt has reportedly given his nod to star in the sequel to 'Naam' and is all set to play the role of Alia Bhatt's father in the upcoming franchise directed by Mahesh Bhatt.
Sanjay
Dutt
starred
in
Mahesh
Bhatt's
directorial
'Naam'
in
the
year
1986
and
three
decades
later,
the
film-maker
has
decided
to
bring
out
a
sequel
starring
his
daughter
Alia
Bhatt
as
the
lead
actress
and
this
time
there's
a
twist
in
the
cast
as
Sanjay
Dutt
might
play
the
role
of
Alia
Bhatt's
father
in
the
upcoming
franchise.
It
is
reported
that
Mahesh
Bhatt
contacted
Sanjay
Dutt
regarding
the
movie
and
the
actor
has
already
given
his
nod
to
star
in
the
film.
Apparently,
Sanjay
recently
met
with
Mahesh
and
the
duo
had
a
long
conversation
about
the
sequel
as
well.
We'll
now
have
to
wait
and
watch
for
an
official
confirmation
about
the
same.
Going
back
down
memory
lane
about
Naam,
Mahesh
Bhatt
had
told
TOI
earlier,
"Even
though
it
was
a
two-hero
project,
Rajendra
Kumar
knew
that
the
audience's
sympathies
would
eventually
swing
from
Kumar
Gaurav's
character
Ravi
to
Sanju's
bad
boy
Vicky."
He
also
remembered
Sanjay
Dutt's
role
in
the
film
and
said,
"I
never
saw
that
kind
of
focus
in
Sanju
again.
With
his
stunning
performance
,
he
broke
people's
heart.
We
became
a
lifelong
friend
and
years
later,
on
the
eve
of
his
departure
to
the
Yerwada
Jail,
I
remember
sitting
with
him
and
feeling
as
helpless
as
Kumar
Gaurav's
character
in
Naam
because
there
was
so
little
that
I
could
do
for
him."
