Sanjay Dutt will be out of the Yerwada Jail in Pune in the last week of February.
The Bollywood actor, who was convicted by the Supreme Court for illegal possession of arms in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case, will walk out a free man.
Based on his conduct, the Jail authorities have decided to cut his punishment period and release him before the scheduled release date, reports suggest.The Apex Court had convicted Dutt under the Arms Act for possessing weapons in 2013 and sentenced him to six years in jail. He had spent about 18 months behind bars earlier and is now serving his remaining 42-month jail term. He has been out on parole and furlough a few times since May 2013.
Sanjay Dutt’s biopic to have no reference to his family
Even before the film has gone on floors, Raju Hirani’s next project, a biopic on Sanjay Dutt has been grabbing a lot of attention. While some part of it can be owed to Raju’s first-time tie-up with Ranbir Kapoor (who will portray Sanjay’s character in the film), a bigger credit needs to be given to the highly controversial and interesting life Sanju baba has led. But those who were expecting to see his three wives and various affairs being projected, are in for some disappointment. Raju Hirani has confirmed that family relations and love life are not really part of his film. While talking to DNA, the director justified saying that two and a half hours is very less a time to portray all of it. So instead of touching every aspect and not doing justice to any, he would stick to just the important and relevant chapters of Dutt’s life.
