Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta recently shared his candid thoughts on actor Sanjay Dutt's career, asserting that Dutt's talent was significantly underutilized before his acclaimed performances in the Dhurandhar film franchise. Gupta noted that while Dutt is performing exceptionally well now, many past filmmakers failed to present him effectively, not understanding his strengths.

This renewed collaboration signifies a strong bond between the two Sanjay's, who previously worked together on films like Musafir and Shootout at Lokhandwala.
