Bollywood actor who starred with Sanjay Dutt in Munnabhai MBBS and Lage Raho Munnabhai says but for Sanju’s help, he and Arshad Warsi wouldn’t have been where they are today.
“Sanjay is a good soul and a generous person. Let me tell me you something, Arshad Warsi and I would not be what we are if we didn’t have his generosity. Despite being the hero of the film, the two supporting actor who were not even parallel heroes got so much out of the films,” he said, and praised his strength to have braved the tough times.
“He’s been very tough mentally. I am amazed at his resilience. Not just last few month or fourteen years but all his life he has had a tough time. I can’t comment on the legal battles in his life but I can pray for him and say that I am with him,” says the lensman-turned-actor.

Irani says creative expressions of all kinds should be allowed. “People should be allowed to do what they want to,” says Boman, adding, “Do what you want. If you are good at it, you will succeed but if you do it wrongly you will fail.”
He adds, “We must remember that a film is not a sequel or a remake but a film.” You must take a film – whether it’s a remake, a sequel or original – by whether it is a good cinema and good entertainment, says the actor who plays a role in the Farhan Akhtar’s remake of Don by the same name.
Sequels have been made over the last 50 years in Hollywood but nobody talks about them. Ben Hur, which won 11 academy awards and is considered as one of the greatest films of all time was also a remake, he says.
