‘Bhoomi’ actor Puru Chibber is all praises for Sanjay Dutt

Post his release from prison, actor Sanjay Dutt is all set to mark his comeback in movies with ‘Bhoomi’. And as he is making his comeback with the movie, his co-star from the movie, Puru Chibber recently spoke about Dutt and was all praises for the actor. He said in a statement, “Working in a movie like ‘Bhoomi’ was a dream come true. I got to grow as an actor. Sanjay Dutt was a treat to work with. He is humble and down to earth. I got to polish my skills and learn many things from him. The whole team was so nice and co-operating that we became like a family. I hope people will appreciate us and will enjoy the movie.”

Talking about the project ‘Bhoomi’, producer Sandeep Singh recently revealed exclusively to us as to how did he get Sanju Baba on-board for the project. He said, “It was I who believed first in ‘Bhoomi’ because it is a topic of the nation. And I think that right now there are no family films, there is no drama in the film, there is no drama in the movies, everybody is talking about cool cinema to attract the youth. I think we should make films, we should not try and attract anybody. If you make a good film on any topic it will work. ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ wasn’t a cool film, it was a family film, it worked. So if you try and do something to make a hit then it won’t work. So you can see that in past a lot of films have not worked, whether it was ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ or a ‘Fan’ or a ‘Jagga Jasoos’, so these films have not worked because we try and make a hit film. You have to make a film from your soul.” (Also Read: Sanjay Dutt pumps up the fun with little kids during ‘Bhoomi’ promotions)

He further said, “So, when I went to meet baba he called me over for a lunch and after lunch Omung and I both narrated the film. I think it was hardly three minutes and he immediately said, ‘Yes, this is my comeback film.’ So, nothing that you have to convince a man who has done 186 films with 35 years being in the industry. I think that was our destiny, our karma that he selected this film and I’m very very happy and thankful that not only a film, I have found a person in the industry who is my best friend and my brother.”

‘Bhoomi’ directed by Omung Kumar also stars Aditi Rao Hydari in the lead role and will be releasing on Sept 22, 2017.
