Sanjay Dutt worked with Amitabh Bachchan in the film Shootout at Lokhandwala. However, both did not shoot a single scene together. Regarding this, the director of the film Apoorva Lakhia said- Amitabh Bachchan has many scenes in this film. But he never met Sanjay Dutt on the set.
Amit ji used to come at 2 pm, while Sanjay Dutt used to come at 6 pm. At the same time, Amit ji used to leave the set at 5:30 pm. The two never shot a single scene together. But when you watch the film, you will see them together throughout the film.
Flowed with body doubles
Apoorva Lakhia said, ‘We used Sanjay Dutt and Amit ji’s body double for the scenes. Arbaaz Khan and Sunil Shetty were present on the set for every scenes. Whatever scenes you will see in the film, we had shot in just two days. We shot about 30-40 scenes in a day.
Sanjay Dutt used to share his own dialogues with co-actors
Apoorva Lakhia said, ‘Amit ji remembered all his lines according to the script. However, Sanjay Dutt used to divide his lines to Sunil Shetty and Arbaaz Khan as they could not remember it. In the last, after reading 5 pages, they used to say- are you going to sue me? Here Arbaaz and Sunil were afraid that now they would have to do scenes with Amit ji in their place at the behest of Sanjay Dutt. So Sanjay Dutt is such a person.
The film was a hit at the box office
The film Shootout at Lokhandwala, released in 2007, was made in a budget of 18 crores. The film grossed 46.04 crores worldwide. Actors like Vivek Oberoi, Tusshar Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan were also seen in the film.
