Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

It’s not only Sanjay Dutt’s fate  which hangs in question, but also the fate of Bollywood. The actor was enjoying the most successful period of his professional life and now with the sentencing his projects are lying in limbo.

"More than Rest 100 crore is riding on Sanjay Dutt and his sentencing is a definite setback for directors like Sanjay Gadhvi, Abbas Mustan and Rajkumar Hirani, who have major projects planned with him," editor of Trade Guide, Taran Adarsh, said here.

"Some of his major projects include 'Kidnap' with Gadhvi, 'Mr Fraud' with Mustan and of course the third installment of the Munnabhai series with Hirani, all of which will now be on hold," Adarsh said.

The future of the Munnabhai Series is also uncertain:
"Unless he gets some relief from the Supreme Court, a lot of money will be in limbo. The Munnabhai series which has been highly successful will have to be put on hold. The next film with Munnabhai in America, is unlikely to go on floors soon," a source said.
