Does he recall his first meeting with Sanjay Gupta? The filmmaker, known for his styling and gritty films, answered, “It must have been 35-40 years ago. I was an assistant director and I met him for the first time on location. Later, we shot for a film called Thanedaar (1990) in Kodaikanal. It was during this outdoor schedule that we hit it out and we became friends.”
Sanjay Dutt featured in Sanjay Gupta’s directorial debut, Aatish (1994), which completed 30 years on June 17.
