Movie
Moghul
J.P.
Dutta
turned
a
year
older
yesterday(3
October).
The
day
was
spent
with
family
and
colleagues
from
the
office.
The
rush
generally
seen
to
greet
the
epic
maker
was
missing.
But
JP
was
happy
to
be
with
the
people
he
counted
on.
"At
my
age
you
begin
to
look
back
on
your
life
and
all
the
experiences
that
have
gone
into
making
me
the
person
that
I
am," confessed
JP
on
his
birthday.
Any
chances
of
penning
his
memoirs,
as
his
father
O.P.Dutta
did
a
few
years
ago?
"Not
a
chance!" chuckles
JP.
"Firstly
I
don't
have
my
father's
writing
skills.
Secondly
I'm
not
as
honest
as
he
is."
An
honest
confession:
J.P
Dutta
is
all
set
to
start
a
new
film.
It
will
in
all
probability
star
Anupam
Kher's
son
Sikandar.
Adds
JP's
lovely
and
devoted
wife
Bindiya,
"You
know
JP
for
so
many
years.
He's
never
defeated
for
long.
He
has
seen
the
industry
change
its
colours
after
a
couple
of
failures.
He
feels
exactly
like
that
Guru
Dutt
song
Dekhi
zamanein
ki
yaari
bichde
sabhi
baari-baari.
"
It
looks
like
the
failure
of
Umrao
Jaan
hasn't
daunted
JP
at
all.
He's
all
set
to
return
with
a
bang,
and
for
the
first
time
without
the
crutches
of
gigantic
stars.
"Why
do
you
say
that?"quips
JP.
"Have
you
forgotten
Refugee?
Have
you
forgotten
that
Abhishek
and
Kareena
were
newcomers
when
I
got
them
into
this
film?"
