‘There’s no ‘Alibaug’ without Sanjay Dutt’

Director Sanjay Gupta is an angry man. And the cause of his anger is a report in a tabloid that claimed he had replaced buddy Sanjay Dutt with small-time actor Vishwajeet Pradhan in “Alibaug”.

A livid Gupta, holidaying in Pune, rushed back to Mumbai for some serious damage control.

“How can they even talk like this? This guy plays the walk-on part of Amrita Singh’s husband in the story ‘Poornamashi’ in my ‘Dus Kahaniyan’. If I’ve to replace Sanju, which I’d never dream of doing, it has to be someone of Sanju’s stature,” Gupta told IANS.

Gupta says the whole rumour originated from Pradhan standing in for Dutt in one particular shot.
