Sanjay Dutt is all set to take up the role of a film producer yet again with the remake of Telugu drama Prasthaanam. The film originally written and directed by Deva Katta will bring back Manisha Koirala and Dutt on the silver screen after a decade. In the remake, Manisha will be seen as the Dutt’s wife and Always Kabhi Kabhi fame Satyajeet Dubey will play the role of his son. Apart from Manisha, Sanjay and Satyajeet, the film also stars Ali Fazal and Amyra Dastur.

Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional.
