Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt is on a signing spree and accepting new projects at a mind boggling price of 15 crores – a first for the actor. But if you think that's snding the directors away think again. The actor has no dates to give till 2010 as he is already booked for 28 new projects.
The new rate is thanks to good friend and colleague Suniel Shetty, who generously hiked Sanjay's price when he signed on the actor for a multi-film deal for his production house Popcorn Entertainment.
Dharam Oberoi, CEO of Sanjay Dutt Productions, says, "It is true Anna (Suniel) raised Baba's (Sanjay) price in the market. Before that Baba was being taken for granted price-wise by all and sundry. Anna was adamant about Baba's price and started a new precedent by paying him far above what Baba got from others."
"Suniel is one of his dearest friends and responsible for initiating the remuneration that you've quoted," adds Oberoi.
And it looks like this friendship comes above anything else for Dutt. Despite having a choc-o-bloc schedule, Sanjay accommodated a film to be produced by Suniel Shetty.
"Anything for Suniel is Baba's motto," said Oberoi. "Yes, Baba has accommodated a new assignment with Anna into his schedule at a time when he couldn't afford to. It means he has to work harder."
This is definitely a new and improved Dutt who was previously famous for his laid back attitude. In fact recently despite suffering from a serious leg injusry, the actor went against the doctors' orders and reported on the sets for director Anthony D'Souza's Blue.
"Baba can't afford to delay any project. In fact, he was really concerned when he had to cancel a small portion of the dubbing for Anna's 'EMI' on the day he injured his leg. While he was on the cycle something gave way in his leg and Baba was in acute pain. In his typical way, he tried to brush it off as no big deal. But then the pain got unbearable and it came to a point where he could barely walk."
"That's Baba for you. Even when going underwater was potentially harmful to his already weak lungs he went 40 feet under for 'Blue' in the Bahamas. And now he's doing stunts in Bangkok with his injured leg with Akshay Kumar," says Oberoi.
