'Netas do better acting in real life'
Actor Sanjay Dutt gets candid about his failed political career; doesn't nurture any political ambitions anymore
Not so long ago, actor Sanjay Dutt nursed a dream of becoming a Member of Parliament like his illustrious father, Sunil Dutt. He stepped onto the political arena only to get embroiled in more controversies – he couldn't contest the elections and every statement of his (including a alleged 'Jaadu Ki Jhappi' remark) made him the target of an acidic political attack. As the dust between him and Amar Singh settles down, Sanjay Dutt finally admits that he makes for a very bad politician.
"It's (politics) not my cup of tea. As far as my career and interests are concerned — I am an actor, a creative person and wish to focus only on that. Right now, I am busy with my films and my own production house," says Sanjay.
The actor still gets sarcastic when he is reminded of his short-lived political career in Uttar Pradesh where he thought he would ride on the huge success of Munnabhai but couldn't. "Recently I had gone to Uttar Pradesh and realised that netas do better acting in real life, than as we actors do on the big screen," he adds.
The star maintains that he is officially still friends with everybody in the political circles of Uttar Pradesh and insists that Amar Singh is still a good friend. He also clarifies that he is not remotely associated with any political outfit anymore.
Since he is highly focused on his production house, he is more excited with the final cut of Rascals being ready. "My home production Rascals with Ajay Devgn and Kangna Ranaut directed by debutant director Rohit Dhawan (David Dhawan's son) is ready for release and I will soon be promoting it in a big way."
But isn't it true that he has been accused of being a little lackadaisical when it comes to giving interviews and engaging in promotional activities? "Well I guess I am lazy. I am actually quite confused about how all these PR activities work. But at the same time, I do concede that a certain amount of awareness is needed to give a film a good opening," he ends.
