The film has highlighted the much known incident of 1993 bomb blasts but just over a decade ago there was a firing happened in Sanju’s life. On 22nd May 1982, at night, there was a sudden chaos of gunshots in Mansion number 58 of Pali Hill. It was done by a heartbroken Sanjay Dutt. It has been revealed how he rushed through the compound of his mansion with a .22 bore rifle. Neighbors reported how he had rested his bare hands on the security wires and was totally unaware about the blood flow from them.
Scroll has also mentioned in their article how Sanjay Dutt sobbed & said, “Why are you all scared of me? I am not a drug addict! . . . I’ve given up on drugs!’” His neighbours revealed how he was drunk & depressed by the breakup with Tina Munim. He shot his rifle in the air breaking windows of his own house as he also shattered the front window of his car. He ran to his house & when the police arrived he was nowhere to be found. He then agreed that a friend helped him to sneak him out.
2. The Thackeray Connection!
Whoever has followed the life of Sanju closely knows how the founder of Shiv Sena, Bal Thackeray was the biggest help in helping him getting the bail. When the Dutts were labelled as anti-nationals, the big boss Balasaheb Thackeray himself took special interest in the case & got the government to include a state-level board in reviewing the TADA cases. Late Shri Sunil Dutt had revealed why he went to Bal Thackeray for help.
In an interview with Rajat Sharma, he said, “Bal Thackeray was my old friend & his party was ruling at that time. As Bal Thackeray used to say ‘The keys are with me’ & if my son is sick I’ll take him to a doctor. If he’s having a political problem, I’ll take him to a politician. That’s why I went to Balasaheb Thackeray for help.”
