Following reports surrounding filmmaker Sanjay Gupta, an incident from his past regarding a threat from underworld gangster Chhota Rajan and actor Sanjay Dutt's assistance has resurfaced across entertainment publications.
The Threat and Sanjay Dutt's Intervention
- The Warning Call: Gupta previously shared in interviews that he received a threatening phone call from Chhota Rajan.
- Dutt's Assistance: Fearing for his safety after learning that men linked to the gangster had reached his building, Gupta contacted Sanjay Dutt for help.
- Safe Escape: Dutt reportedly arranged for his father Sunil Dutt's official vehicle, along with a security jeep, to transport Gupta safely from his residence's back entrance.
Origin of the Dispute
According to Gupta's past accounts, the tension originated from an incident involving actor Aditya Pancholi. Reports indicated that Pancholi had been discussing his film roles during a gathering and made remarks about wishing to pressure the director to enhance his part in the movie *Ram Shastra*, which was subsequently conveyed to the gangster.
Resolution of the Matter
The situation was later defused when Chhota Rajan placed another call to the filmmaker. During the conversation, Gupta apologized, and the gangster instructed him to improve Pancholi's role in the ongoing film project, assuring him that there was no further tension.
