Actor Sanjay Dutt got emotional after wrapping up his comeback film Bhoomi in Mumbai on Tuesday.
“The experience has been wonderful right from the first day. It’s an emotional day for me as we culminate this lovely journey,” Dutt said in a statement.
Bhoomi is a revenge drama that explores the relationship between a father and daughter. Dutt also shot for the film in Agra and Chambal.
Producers Bhushan Kumar and Sandeep Singh said that they are happy with the way the movie is turning out.
“Sanjay is a powerhouse. He has worked tirelessly right from the first day of shoot and given everything for this role. In spite of all the problems we faced through the entire shoot, he kept shooting and has been an inspiration to the entire team,” Singh said.
The film made headlines in March when some of Dutt’s bouncers roughed up a few of his fans as well as media persons while shooting in Agra.
Bhushan added: “I’m elated about the way Sanjay has shaped for his role. Whatever the circumstances were, there was no stopping for his dedication towards his craft.”
The film’s director Omung Kumar also praised Dutt for his dedication.
Bhoomi will mark Dutt’s comeback after he was released from Yerwada Central Jail in Pune in 2016. His last release was the 2014 film PK, which also starred Aamir Khan.
Co-produced by T-Series and Legend Studios, Bhoomi was earlier scheduled to release on August 4. However, the makers have pushed back the release date to September 22.
