Dutt's cameo in 'Desi Boyz'

Not many are aware that Sanjay Dutt makes an interesting cameo in DESI BOYZ. Of course, one of the trailers of the film shows a glimpse of Dutt, but the focus is on Akshay Kumar and John Abraham in the movie and rightly so. However, Rohit Dhawan, son of David Dhawan, has an interesting story to narrate about Dutt, when the first-time director approached him for the film.

It seems, Dutt, who shares a fantastic rapport with Rohit's father David and who had known Rohit ever since he was a kid, didn't think twice before accepting the small but significant part in DESI BOYZ. "He didn't want to listen to the story or what role he was supposed to play. All he said was, when do you want me to be on the sets?," Rohit divulges. Incidentally, David Dhawan's directorial debut TAAQATWAR starred Sanju [and Govinda] in the lead role, 22 years ago. Both papa Dhawan and beta Dhawan can claim to have worked with Dutt in their debut films.

why does Chitrangada always give that scary glare 😕

IMO, she's lost her charm! she looked HOT on HKA & Kal. but after that... 🥱🤢

Chitrangada happy to make foray into commercial cinema

Moving from offbeat cinema, actress Chitrangada Singh is excited about her first commercial release 'Desi Boyz' and says this shift was not strategised and that she is fascinated with the 'glam' factor in these films.

Chitrangada dazzled with her performance and arresting looks in Sudhir Mishra's 'Hazaron Khwahishen Aisi' (2003) and her second film 'Kal' in 2005. But then she vanished from the big screen for three years and returned with director Onir's film 'Sorry Bhai' in 2008 followed by Mishra's another film 'Yeh Saali Zindagi' this year.

"What is different about commercial films is there are so many changes like there is so much of make-up, different hair styles, slow motion shots etc. The exciting part was you glam-up for a role, you dance, you have those fantastic clothes, high heels and that whole girly thing," said Chitrangada.

"In the end a girl is a girl, we all love these things. I had a great time doing all this," she said.
