A fortnight back, PeepingMoon.com revealed that Sanjay Dutt will be seen in a thriller comedy for his old friends Bittu (Ajay) and Lovel Arora. The Arora brothers, known to be music video directors, are reportedly making their Bollywood debut as directors with this film. When they approached Dutt to be a part of their film, the soft-hearted actor could not say no. The film was supposed to be shot in Mauritius with a start-to-finish shooting schedule. This was touted to be a working vacation for the actor, where reportedly his wife Maanayata and children Shahraan and Iqra were to accompany the actor.

But PeepingMoon.com has exclusively learnt that the untitled comic caper will now be shot in Goa instead. And what's more, apart from Dutt, the film will feature an ensemble star cast featuring Shreyas Talpade, Paresh Rawal, Boman Irani, Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Vijay Patkar, Mukesh Tiwari, and Paresh Ganatra. The actress for the film is yet to be finalized. On the lines of a madhouse comic entertainer, the film's shoot will commence in March 2018. The film is written by Farhad-Sajid, who have previously written blockbuster films like Housefull 2, Golmaal Returns, Double Dhamaal, Singham and Chennai Express.

Fans will be getting to see Dutt in a comic avatar after the span of nearly eight years, and this escalates the excitement level for the project!

It is being said that the film will be produced by Anand Pandit Motion Pictures. When we got in touch with Anand, he neither confirmed or denied the news. "Will brief on this subject soon," said the producer.

As for now, the first look of Dutt's Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3 has been revealed. This drama is the third installment of Tigmanshu Dhulia’s series of films started by Rahul Mitra with Saheb Biwi Aus Gangster 2011. The actor is currently shooting for Torbaaz which is helmed by director Girish Malik which will see him in the role of an army officer.

Rumours have it, the trailer Rajkumar Hirani's film, a biopic made on the life of the actor, will be out on May 8, 2018, which will be unveiled by the Dutt himself.
