The
Supreme
Court
gave
Bollywood
actor
Sanjay
Dutt
a
month's
reprieve
in
the
1993
Mumbai
blasts
case,
but
the
producers
of
his
films
feel
four
weeks
are
not
enough
for
him
to
wrap
up
all
the
projects
in
hand.
Sentenced
to
five
years
in
jail
for
possessing
weapons
illegally
during
the
1993
Mumbai
riots,
Sanjay
(53),
wanted
six
more
months
to
surrender
to
complete
his
projects
worth
Rs
278
crore.
His
pending
films
include
Policegiri,
PK,
Unglee
and
Zanjeer
remake.
Zanjeer
producer
Saket
Sahni,
who
is
left
with
seven
or
eight
days
of
work,
including
dubbing,
said,
"It's
difficult
to
complete
all
the
pending
films
in
one
month,
but
we
will
start
planning
backwards."
"We
would
also
want
him
(Sanjay)
to
spend
some
time
with
his
family,
so
let's
see
how
it
goes," added
Sahni.
In
Zanjeer,
Sanjay
plays
Sher
Khan,
originally
played
by
Pran
in
the
Amitabh
Bachchan-starrer
1993
hit
action
drama.
Policegiri
producer
Rahul
Aggarwal
said
Sanjay
was
under
pressure
now.
"He
(Sanjay)
is
thankful,
but
he
is
still
under
pressure
that
how
would
he
finish
six
months'
work
in
a
month," said
Aggarwal.
Talking
about
the
status
of
Policegiri,
he
admitted
it
does
not
need
much
time,
"just
a
few
days
as
one
song
and
a
bit
of
dubbing
is
left".
"In
fact,
Sanjay
himself
is
asking
us
to
do
the
dubbing
at
night,"
he
added.
The
actor
has
already
spent
18
months
in
jail
and
has
to
undergo
the
remaining
three-and-a-half-year
sentence.
The
Supreme
Court
had
on
March
21
granted
Sanjay
four
weeks
-
ending
April
18
-
to
surrender.
Upholding
his
conviction
under
the
Arms
Act,
the
court
had
reduced
his
sentence
from
six
to
five
years.
