Recently during Sanjay Dutt’s wife birthday party Salman Khan asked Sanju to play his father’s role in his upcoming film Bodyguard. And there was also buzz of spat between both the actors.
It was reported that Jackie Shroff is playing Salman’s father role but the fact is that he has not been approached yet. It is being said that Salman Khan still wants only Sanjay Dutt to play his father’s role. Atul Agnihotri has confirmed this news.
Someone close to Salman reveals, “Salman had actually made the offer of his father’s role to Sanju two days earlier, and the latter just laughed it off. At the party last Thursday, he brought it up again. This time, Sanju lost his cool and an angry scene ensued.”
But Salman is not affected with this small spat between him and Sanjay Dutt. The source said, “Salman is not being unrealistic or spiteful by offering Dutt his father’s role. Salman is the kind of person who would do anything for a friend. If Sanjay asked him to play a walk-on part in a film, Salman wouldn’t think twice before doing it. So he sees nothing wrong in offering Dutt his father’s role, and he won’t take a no for an answer.”
It really comes as a surprise that why Salman only wants Sanjay Dutt to play his Dad’s role. A source says the role requires the presence of someone tough and macho, someone who Salman looks up to even in real life.
Hence, Sanjay Dutt is perfect for the role.
Well! If Sanjay Dutt really wants to favour his long time friend Salman Khan, he would have to decide early because shooting of Bodyguard will complete by the first week of August.
Lets wait and watch for the further development.
