Sanjay Dutt’s life has always been full of ups and downs, and here is another downer for him. His past has against caught up with him, haunting him yet again. In 2002 Shakeel Noorani, a producer had launched a film called ‘Jaan Ki Baazi’ that had Dutt in the main lead opposite Priyanka Chopra. But Sanjay had reportedly, walked out of the film, mid-way leaving the producer in the lurch. He claims that he had then moved to Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association (IMPPA) but the arbitration committee had adjourned the case. The IMPAA then told Noorani to move to the High Court, which executed the decree attaching the assets of Sanjay Dutt, which includes his residence in, Imperial Heights building at Pali Hill, Nargis Dutt Road, Bandra and his office, Sanjay Dutt Productions, Mayfair Melody at Tagore Road in Santacruz.
Noorani has sought a claim of Rs 2.03 crore from Sanjay Dutt, which also includes Rs 50 lakh paid to him as signing amount. Noorani’s lawyer Ashok Sarogi, told the media that Sanjay had the option to either pay the amount within 30 days or his properties, both office and residence would be auctioned off. Sanjay Dutt’s lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, said that they will go through the decree execution order of the High Court and the IMPAA decision and then take the right course of action. Meanwhile, Shakeel Noorani also said that Sanjay Dutt has underworld ties and had even threatened him on a few occasions.
