Ashutosh
On
Working
With
Sanjay
Dutt
The
filmmaker
was
quoted
as
saying,
" I
have
shared
screen
space
with
Sanjay
in
NAAM,
which
was
a
memorable
co-acting
experience
and
now
it
will
be
great
to
direct
such
a
versatile
and
immensely
talented
actor
as
him."
Here's
Why
He
Cast
Arjun
&
Kriti
"What
impresses
me
most
about
Arjun,
apart
from
his
fine
performances
-
is
his
dynamism.
He
has
played
double
roles
twice,
and
he
has
portrayed
an
action
hero
as
well
as
a
lover
boy.
I
needed
someone
really
beautiful
as
well
as
a
good
performer,
and
Kriti
is
both.
The
eclectic
combination
of
these
three
is
a
first
for
me,
and
I
look
forward
to
this
exciting
journey
with
them
called
PANIPAT".
