No Sanjay Dutt and Alia Bhatt’s Jodi for Naam sequel!

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, who is presently busy shooting for his upcoming film Bhoomi, hit headlines after news suggested that the actor has given his nod for the sequel to Mahesh Bhatt's 1986 film Naam. 

The news even suggested that the actor will be seen essaying the role of a father to Alia Bhatt in the film. 

So, we got in touch with Mahesh Bhatt to know if there is any truth to the story. Rebutting the rumours, Bhatt told, "No truth. This is merely a rumour."

When asked if there are any discussions in place on a future collaboration for Naam's sequel, the director further added, "Even if I want to I can't. Naam is late Rajendra Kumar's property."

The 1986 film was directed by Mahesh Bhatt and produced by Rajendra Kumar. The film starring Nutan, Sanjay Dutt, Kumar Gaurav, Poonam Dhillon, Amrita Singh and Paresh Rawal in pivotal roles was a blockbuster and is regarded as a milestone in the careers of director Mahesh Bhatt, Paresh Rawal and Sanjay Dutt. 

Speaking about Naam, Mahesh Bhatt in an earlier interview told, "Even though it was a two-hero project, Rajendra Kumar knew that the audience’s sympathies would eventually swing from Kumar Gaurav’s character Ravi to Sanju’s bad boy Vicky.”


He even praised Sanju's act in the movie. “I never saw that kind of focus in Sanju again. With his stunning performance, he broke people’s, heart. We became a lifelong friend and years later, on the eve of his departure to the Yerwada Jail, I remember sitting with him and feeling as helpless as Kumar Gaurav’s character in Naam because there was so little that I could do for him," the filmmaker had told in a previous interview.
