Sanjay Dutt sings Qawali after 41 years in Apoorva Lakhia's 'Zanjeer'

NEW DELHI: Actor Sanjay Dutt, who had acted as member of a qawali party forty-one years earlier in his father Sunil Dutt‘s Reshma aur Shera as a child artiste, will be rendering a qawali once again as the iconic Sher Khan in the forthcoming re-imagined version of Zanjeer.

While the new version being released on 7 September stars Ramsharan and Priyanka Chopra with Sanjay Dutt, the original starred megastar Amitabh Bachchan - who was also an artiste inReshma aur Shera - with Jaya Bachchan.

Sanjay‘s formal debut had come years later in his father‘s film Rocky, which went on to be a massive hit. Today after 41 years in the industry, Sanjay has over 150 films in his kitty.

Dutt has donned a never-seen-before look. His look as Sher Khan which was revealed some time back in the trailer has already been admired by audiences.

The actor himself was extremely psyched about doing the qawali sequence in the songKhochey Pathan Ki Zubaan and director Apoorva Lakhia is confident that this will be one of Sanjay Dutt‘s most memorable performances on the big screen.

Along with Sanjay Dutt Apoorva Lakhia‘s tour de force Zanjeer stars an elite ensemble cast of Ram Charan, Priyanka Chopra, Prakash Raj, Mahie Gill and Atul Kulkarni. 

Zanjeer has been produced by Reliance Entertainment, Puneet Prakash Mehra, Sumeet Prakash Mehra and Flying Turtle Films, and co-produced by Rampage Motion Pictures.
