You can confine a body, not an idea. Or in Sanjay
Dutt’s case, an endeavour. A jail term is Yerewada Central Station, Pune
did not prevent the actor from reaching out to those who need help in the
Uttarakhand devastation. The ‘Munnabhai’
star is said to have written to his wife Maanyata to devote the expenditure of Policegiri’s
promotion to organise a charity event to collect relief aid for the flood
survivors.
It is a lofty gesture, no doubt, and one
that met with appreciation from not only Mrs. Sanjay Dutt
but also his upcoming film Policegiri’s
producer Rahul Aggarwal. According to a source, he is known to have said, "It's
very touching that Sanjay actually decided to collect funds for these victims
rather than promoting the movie in Dubai."
The gesture, no doubt, could be a promotional
stunt but Sanjay’s
altruistic streak was also evident during the 2004 tsunami catastrophe in
India. Because the actor cannot attend the film’s preview, Policegiri
makers have requested the DG of Yerewada prison to organise a special screening
for all the inmates.
Policegiri
is due for release on July 5, 2013. It is a cop drama featuring Prachi
Desai and Prakash Raj as well.
