Sanjay Dutt in remake of father Sunil Dutt’s ‘Amrapali’?

There have been a few rumours about the films Sanjay Dutt will be seen in next. Although only a couple have been confirmed, it seems he may be stepping into his father Sunil Dutt’s shoes for the remake of ‘Amrapali’ (1966).

A source told Box Office Capsule, “Some portions with Jinal were filmed last year and while Sanjay had already committed to the project, the makers were waiting for him to complete his jail term. He has now given his dates for December and the team is looking to wrap up the film by February next year”.

The late Sunil Dutt starred in the film with��Vyjayanthimala and apparently the remake had already gone on the floors with Atul Garg as director. However, this is all about to change, as the source added, “Yes, we are looking for a new director at the moment. We begin shooting with Sanjay in December and plan to film at various locations including Varanasi, Jaipur, Gaya, among others. Besides that we also have popular set designer Nitin Chandrakant Desai on board to create grand sets for our film.”

South actress Jinal Pandya is said to be the heroine of the parts of the film have already been shot.
