With a big screen presence and powerful performances and a solid core of people who are his fans and people who support him with the rest of the movie industry (and that is the life story of Bollywood).
Born on 29 July 1959 as the son of famous Bollywood actors Sunil Dutt and Nargis Dutt, Sanjay was raised in a family that is still very much into Bollywood. People expected him to build on his parents' acting career but his journey was anything but that. Rocky (1981) was the film that made him the leading actor in Bollywood. Although the movie was a box office hit, that was also the most tragic time of his life as his mother Nargis died days before the movie's release.
In a span of many years Sanjay Dutt became Bollywood's all-around actor and filmmaker. His performances include Naam, Saajan, Khalnayak, Vaastav, Mission Kashmir, Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Agneepath, KGF: Chapter 2 and many other major and successful projects. From being a feared gangster, a loving father, a comic character or an action hero, Sanjay has been able to play all kinds of roles in Bollywood.
Among all his performances, his portrayal of Murli Prasad Sharma (Munna Bhai) remains one of the most beloved characters in Indian cinema. The "Munna Bhai" franchise not only entertained but also had a lot of social messages to communicate at the same time through humour and emotion. The movies remain very popular and are still considered as modern Bollywood classics today.
Sanjay Dutt’s life off-screen has drawn as much attention as his films. His early years of substance abuse and the legal problems he had in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case had him under huge public pressure. After years of legal proceedings, imprisonment, and many more personal setbacks, Sanjay was able to rise up and rebuild his life and acting career. He has inspired many people to keep going for the best of themselves.
In 2020, Sanjay had to face another major challenge when he was diagnosed with lung cancer. The actor battled this disease and bravely communicated with his well-wishers. After treatment, he returned to films with renewed energy once again and demonstrated his fight and bravery. His recovery was eagerly awaited by his fans and colleagues in the film industry.
In recent years, Sanjay Dutt has reinvented himself, playing both supporting and antagonist roles. His performance of Adheera in KGF: Chapter 2 received a great deal of attention for its intensity and his presence on screen.
