Sanjay Dutt will walk out of the prison with a salary of only Rs 450

Bollywood’s favourite actor Sanjay Dutt will soon walk out a free man. Munnabhai who had been languishing in Yerwada jail will be released on 25th February from the iconic Pune jail at 9 am. It is a time of rejoicements for not only the Dutt family but also his friends and co-stars from the Bollywood fraternity.

Munnabhai was interned in jail for hoarding illegal weapons and  destruction of prohibited weapon, AK-47, right before the 1993 Mumbai blasts. There is an air of rejoicements in Bollywood as directors who were waiting for their Baba will finally be able to get their dream projects on the floor soon.

Well the actor will walk out of the prison with Rs. 450 that he has earned as salary within the jail premises. In fact the actor had earned around 38,000 by making paper bags and also working as a Radio Jockey for the prison Radio.

Sources said,  “The actor should have received at least Rs 38,000 but he has already spent much of the amount on buying daily use items from the jail canteen. The balance to be paid to him is just Rs 450. We have counted the number of days the actor has spent in the jail after finalizing his fixed date of release (FDR), after which we then calculated his salary at the rate of Rs 35, per day, which was enhanced to Rs 50 with effect from September 1, 2015.” 

Sources added, “Dutt’s salary excludes the period of leave of 256 days on parole and furlough which was granted by the Pune divisional commissioner and deputy inspector general (western region) of the prisons department on numerous occasions ever since he was lodged in the jail in 2013. We have not counted the period of 18 months, that is 548 days, which he had spent in the jail since his arrest while finalizing the FDR and salary since he was an undertrial prisoner then, and not a convict.”

Sanjay will soon be working on the sequel to his hit Franchise Munna Bhai.
