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.
