Sanjay Dutt to do a romantic thriller titled ‘Malang’

Apart from Omung Kumar’s ‘Bhoomi’ that will mark his Bollywood comeback, Sanjay Dutt confirms he has signed a romantic thriller as well. Titled ‘Malang’, the film will be helmed by debutant Aarambh Singh. It is set on the backdrop of Varanasi.

“I have always believed in the passion of newcomers and fresh talent. I observed Aarambhh since he was the assisting Omung during ‘Bhoomi’. When he narrated ‘Malang’ to me, I looked at Sandeep and said I am hooked. The layering of my character and the plot, the setting of Varanasi has me most excited about this project,” Dutt told us.

It’s a dream true.I am also very thankful to Sandeep sir and Omung sir for showing immense faith in me and giving me this chance to showcase my talent,” he breaks out in happiness.
