'Kaante 2' will happen, but not without Sanjay Dutt: Director

The sequel of 2002 film "Kaante" is part of Sanjay Gupta's future plans, but he says the movie will not happen without actor Sanjay Dutt who is currently behind bars.

"Ofcourse KAANTE 2 will happen, but not without SANJAY DUTT," Gupta tweeted on Wednesday.

The film explored the darker and grey areas of society with a group of robbers trying to pull off a big heist, which can change their future for good. The perfect plan unravels when an undercover policeman finds a place in their group.

The film had a star-studded cast, including Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, Mahesh Manjrekar and Lucky Ali.

Talks of the "Kaante" sequel have been going on, but clearly, Gupta wants to wait for his friend Sanjay Dutt, who is in jail for illegal possession of arms during the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts and riots.

For now, Gupta's film "Jazbaa" is running high on anticipation level as it marks the comeback of actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
