Dutt’s the way he likes it!

ONE UP Sanjay Dutt is aiming for 12-pack abs

Sanjay Dutt is never out of the news. His films may not be as big a draw now as they were during his “Khalnayak” days, but his fans can’t have enough of him.

Realising the need to appeal to the new generation Sanjay is walking the Khan way — getting abs, losing weight, adding taut muscles and preparing to present a new persona to his fans.

“I am building 12, instead of six-pack abs, 17-inch biceps, and have already done away with 25 kg for my next film,” he says.

Refusing to be drawn into any rivalry talk with the Khans — both Shah Rukh and Aamir had recently built their abs — Sanjay says: “They are like my younger brothers; I don’t have any competition with them. They are ahead of me, and I am just following them.” Sanjay took the personal bonhomie to a professional plane by stating that the recently-released “Blue”, in which he stars himself, and Salman Khan’s “Main Aur Mrs. Khanna” will find their respective audiences, and not eat into each others’ profit.

About the new tattoo on his chest, he says: “I loved my parents very much; they were every thing for me. And, that’s why I have their names tattooed.”

Sanjay, who is trying to carve out a niche for himself in the field of politics and actively campaigned for the Samajwadi Party, has not left his fans disappointed.

Even today he has his kitty full with films such as “Lamha” with Bipasha Basu directed by Rahul Dholakia; “Bond” directed by Anthony D Souza; “Unusual Love Story” directed by Mahesh Manjrekar; “Munna Bhai Chale Amerika” directed by Rajkumar Hirani; “Happy New Year” directed by Farah Khan; and “Gangs Of London” directed by Shamim Desai, coming up one after the other. Looks like the Khalnayak is in demand.
