"I have been looking for scripts that went beyond my screen persona. I wanted to do something vulnerable yet powerful. 'Bhoomi' is an emotional and sensitive drama that explores the relationship between a father and daughter," Dutt said in a statement here.
Omung, who has previously directed biopics like "Mary Kom" and "Sarbjit", said the film will be an edge-of-the-seat thriller.
"This one will keep the audience taut and on the edge of their seats. Bhoomi is an emotional, revenge drama that centres around the relationship between a father and daughter."
Producer Bhushan Kumar said, "Sanjay Dutt's versatility as an actor will be on display with 'Bhoomi'. I am personally looking forward to this film."
"Baba (Sanjay Dutt) believed in the script from the day he heard it and has been the driving force behind this film.Bhoomi is a story that will buckle the trend. We are delighted that Sanjay Dutt is making a comeback through 'Bhoomi'," said Sandeep Singh.
To be shot extensively in Uttar Pradesh in February, "Bhoomi" will be the first of Legend Studios films to go on the floors in 2017.
