Munnabhai Sanjay does it for dad

Eager to translate his reel appeal into real votes for his father, actor Sanjay Dutt, had turned up at the Mumbai North-West constituency to seek support for his father and Congress nominee, Sunil Dutt.

Donning a white shirt, with ‘Om’ scribbled across, Sanjay climbed atop the vehicle along with his father yesterday, urging voters to cast their franchise in favour of the Congress.‘‘In fact Sanjay’s campaign was not a pre-planned one,’’ sources said, adding that he would return to Jaisalmer for shooting.

The actor, also addressed two meetings in North-West Bandra, to briefly campaign for his father, who is pitted against Shiv Sena’s firebrand leader, Sanjay Nirupam. The Sena had earlier approached Sanjay to campaign for Nirupam. However, the actor turned down the offer, stating that he would stick to his old policy of being out of campaigning. — (PTI)
