Sanjay Dutt’s upcoming film Prassthanam is all set to release on September 20, 2019. Produced by wife Maanayata Dutt, the film will also feature Manisha Koirala, Jackie Shroff, Chunky Pandey and Ali Fazal. It brings back the hit pair of Sanjay Dutt and Manisha Koirala on-screen after almost ten years.
Sharing light on the same, writer Farhad Samji says, "I have grown up watching these two brilliant actors, but in this film, you will see them as characters and not actors. There is turbulence in their relationship and the story revolves around how they overcome it. We usually categorize characters as the hero, heroine, villain, and comedian, but in Prassthanam, everyone is related to each other in certain ways."
"It’s the complexity of relationships which keeps us glued. As compared to Singham and Simmba, which given the genre, were the epitome of ‘commercial’ writing, Prassthanam falls in more real space and has plenty of drama to spice up the proceedings.” Jackie Shroff will be seen playing a loyal guard to the family and will be in a different avatar for the first time.
Prassthanam is a remake of the south hit film by the same name and writing the Hindi version of this same came across as a challenge as the story needed a fresh spin. Speaking about the film, writer Farhad Samji says, “The original is a cult film, but it released nine years ago. Everything upgrades with time, so it was essential for us to make it palatable for today’s audience. However, the basic premise and characters have remained the same."
