Madhuri Dixit calls all the Sanjay Dutt rumours redundant!

The shooting of Sanjay Dutt’s biopic, starring Ranbir Kapoor is nearing its completion. One would wonder how will director Rajkumar Hirani put the torrid affair of Dutt and the Dhak Dhak girl Madhuri Dixit-Nene on the silver screen.

A report stated that the television actress Karishma Tanna was supposed to play Madhuri Dixit, but Madhuri herself called up Hirani and asked to chop off all the references to the relationship between Sanjay and her in the film.

Cut to today, Madhuri has denied all such rumours as she said “For where I am today, this [the topic of Dutt] has become redundant. Life has come a long way since then. I don’t know where these reports are coming from. In any case, it doesn’t make a difference to me.” She also clarified that she has not made any such call to the director

In response to the rumours regarding Karishma Tanna, the makers clarified that Sonam Kapoor will be playing a character which will be an amalgamation of all the love interests that Dutt has had back in the 90’s.

For the uninitiated: Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit (Now Madhuri Dixit-Nene) were said to have a steamy affair going on back in the 90’s, which had become the talk of the town. The relationship allegedly ended after Dutt was convicted and jailed back in 1993, soon after which Madhuri announced to the press that the two were not at all romantically involved.
