Actor Sanjay Dutt on Sunday began the shoot of his new film "Torbaaz" in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

"New day, new film. 'Torbaaz'," Sanjay tweeted along with two photographs.

In one, he is seen praying with folded hands in front of a picture of Lord Ganesha, and in another image, Sanjay is seen doing 'aarti' with some incense sticks.

He is surrounded by the crew members of the movie, said to be an action-thriller set in Afghanistan. It is being directed by Girish Malik.

The film's producer Rahul Mittra is excited, and tweeted that he is "enjoying minus 10 degrees in the beautiful city of Bishkek".
