Sanjay
Dutt
has
delivered
some
of
the
most
epic
villains
on
screen
and
he
is
back
to
give
us
a
more
evil,
menacing,
merciless,
cold-hearted
brute
force
of
nature,
Shuddh
Singh
in
Shamshera.
Sanjay
plays
Ranbir
Kapoor's
nemesis
in
this
action
entertainer,
and
he
has
been
winning
unanimous
praise
for
his
spine-chilling
act
in
the
promotional
materials
of
the
film.
Not
many
know
that
Sanjay
Dutt
delivered
this
stellar
performance
while
battling
cancer
and
director
of
Shamshera,
Karan
Malhotra,
reveals
that
the
actor
silently
braved
this
without
letting
anyone
know
how
tough
it
was
for
him.
Karan
says,
"The
news
that
Sanjay
sir
had
been
diagnosed
with
cancer
came
to
all
of
us
like
a
huge
shock.
We
had
no
idea
about
it.
He
was
talking,
behaving
and
working
like
nothing
has
happened.
I
guess
that's
why
he
is
where
he
is
today,
having
conquered
this
too.
Sanjay
sir
doesn't
let
anything
get
the
better
of
him.
He
is
an
inspiration
on
the
sets
for
everyone."
The
filmmaker
adds,
"Having
given
so
many
years
of
his
life
to
his
craft,
Sanjay
sir
leads
from
the
front
and
his
demeanour
shows
us
all
how
to
conduct
ourselves
on
the
set.
He
went
about
shooting
Shamshera
with
the
attitude
that
there
is
nothing
he
can't
conquer.
He
never
mentioned
what
he
was
going
through
personally.
He
kept
the
mood
on
the
set
light."

*News
Karan
calls
Sanjay
Dutt
a
superman
for
battling
cancer
and
winning
over
it.
He
says,
"It
is
exemplary
how
he
silently
showed
us
that
we
too
can
face
life's
adversities
with
a
smile
on
our
faces.
To
me,
Sanjay
sir
is
a
superman
and
there
is
no
one
like
him.
I'm
indebted
for
his
support
towards
Shamshera.
He
is
a
constant
guide
and
a
mentor
to
me."
The
story
of
Shamshera
is
set
in
the
fictitious
city
of
Kaza,
where
a
warrior
tribe
is
imprisoned,
enslaved
and
tortured
by
a
ruthless
authoritarian
general
Shuddh
Singh,
played
by
Sanjay
Dutt.
This
is
the
story
of
a
man
named
Shamshera
who
relentlessly
fights
for
his
tribe's
freedom
and
dignity.
The
high-octane,
adrenaline-pumping
entertainer
is
set
in
the
1800s
in
the
heartland
of
India.
It
has
the
big
promise
of
a
never
seen
before
Ranbir
Kapoor,
who
plays
Shamshera
in
the
film!
Sanjay
Dutt
plays
Ranbir's
arch-enemy
in
this
huge
casting
coup
and
his
showdown
with
Ranbir
will
be
something
to
watch
out
for
as
they
will
ferociously
go
after
each
other
with
no
mercy.
Directed
by
Karan
Malhotra,
this
action
extravaganza
has
been
produced
by
Aditya
Chopra
and
is
set
to
release
in
Hindi,
