Dutt loved the idea of "Torbaaz" and immediately gave a go ahead. In the film the actor plays an army officer who wants to give the 'children of war' a ray of hope, a release issued here said.
"I am keen to be a part of films that are highly content driven. I want to create a memorable slate of films for my fans," Dutt said in a statement here.
"Torbaaz" is based in Afghanistan and is a story about child suicide bombers of Afghanistan, who have been trained to believe that killing is a virtue and glory is in afterlife.
"I am amazed at how easily and organically Sanju got into the world of 'Torbaaz'. He is a very intelligent and evolved actor who has so much to offer. He was the first choice for me," Girish said.
The film is likely to go on floors by 2017.
