Sanjay Dutt recently found himself in an amusing moment on stage when Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik asked him to speak in Marathi. The actor, known for his candid sense of humour, responded with a joke about his own experience and quickly moved past the request. At a recent event in Mumbai, Sanjay Dutt shared the stage with Pratap Sarnaik. Videos from the event have surfaced on social media, showing the actor and the minister along with other dignitaries. During the event, Sarnaik said, Aajkal main sab logon ko Marathi sikha raha hoon (These days, I am teaching everyone Marathi). The minister was referring to a recent requirement concerning autorickshaw drivers in Mumbai, under which they are expected to have a functional understanding of Marathi phrases. Sarnaik then suggested that Sanjay Dutt should also speak in Marathi, saying, So I thought after his entry, let us all get Sanjay Dutt to talk in Marathi. He speaks in Hindi, but all of us understand Marathi. Responding to the request, Sanjay Dutt took the microphone and said, Pratap bhai, main 6 saal jail me raha, Yervada mein. Tab bhi Marathi nahin seekh paaya. Main thoda seekha tha. Marathi pride but only if youre a taxi driver, auto-wallah or street vendor with no bodyguards and no film-industry connections. Sanjay Dutt lives in Mumbai for 50+ years, openly admits he still cant speak Marathi even after 6 years in https://t.co/9B23U2yVd0 SHIVVAM PANDEY BHARATIYA (@IShivamP2) September 6, 2026 The actor then put his arm around Sarnaik and spoke about their long-standing association. He added, Main Pratap bhai ka aabhaari hoon ki mujhe yahan bulaye. Hamara rishta bahut purana hai, 25 saal ho gaye hain. The exchange has since drawn mixed reactions online. While some users appreciated Dutts humorous response, others compared his situation with that of autorickshaw drivers who are expected to meet the Marathi-language requirement. One social media user wrote, Only Sanjay Dutt or Salman Khan can defy a minister like this and still smile, while another commented, He ignored it with style. Others pointed to the difference between the actors response and the situation faced by autorickshaw drivers, with one person writing, If only autowallahs could say this and avoid heavy fines too. Some users, meanwhile, criticised Dutt for not being able to speak Marathi despite having spent most of his life in Maharashtra. Sanjay Dutt was most recently seen in the Arabic film 7 Dogs in a cameo appearance, where he shared screen space with Salman Khan.

On September 7, the actor shared a video montage featuring memorable scenes from the film and reflected on what drew him to the role of Shivaji Rao. In his post, Anil Kapoor wrote, 25 years of Nayak.

It was what he chose to do once he got there, to use the power he had to make a difference to the people. He further recalled the significance of portraying a character driven by a sense of purpose, adding, To portray a role with that kind of purpose was a privilege and perhaps that is why Nayak continues to find its way back to people even after 25 years. The actor also reflected on the film's central message and why he continues to be proud of being associated with it. The love for your country, and the desire to do better for its people will never be irrelevant, and I will always be proud to have been a part of such a story, he wrote. What is Nayak about? Directed by S. Shankar, Nayak follows Shivaji Rao, a television cameraman and reporter played by Anil Kapoor. The story begins when Shivaji gets an opportunity to interview Maharashtra Chief Minister Balraj Chauhan, played by Amrish Puri.

25 Years of Nayak: 34 CAMERAS for one action scene The INSANE story behind Anil Kapoors mud fight
Nayak (2001) completed 25 years on September 7, and its considered one of the most loved films of all time in Hindi cinema. An entire track in the first half, where the protagonist, Shivaji (Anil Kapoor), changes the lives of the citizens for the better as a Chief Minister, that too in a day, has a separate fan base. Another memorable sequence is when Shivaji is attacked by goons and fights back. Interestingly, this scene was shot in a very innovative manner then by director Shankar. As published in the June 2, 2001 issue of Komal Nahtas Film Information magazine, Shankar shot the sequence using a then-unheard-of 34-camera set-up. The scene was filmed in an abandoned open car shed, for which as many as 500 cars were used, with several of them stacked on top of one another. The article also mentions, Anil Kapoor fights the villains with only muck covering his body or so it seems. The perception at that point was that the sequence would be shown in the climax of Nayak. However, it appears immediately after the intermission. Further, the article revealed, The first promotional trailer of the film, which is a remake of Shankars Tamil blockbuster, Mudhalvan, also shows a part of this elaborate climax sequence. Besides Anil Kapoor, Nayak stars Rani Mukerji, Amrish Puri, Paresh Rawal, Saurabh Shukla, Johny Lever, Shivaji Satam, Neena Kulkarni and others. It tells the story of a television cameraman who gets the chance to interview the chief minister of Maharashtra. The cameraman-turned-reporter asks some tough questions to the CM, putting him on the spot, that too on live television. To save his face, the CM challenges him to be a chief minister for a day so that he understands the challenges he faces on a daily basis. The protagonist agrees and brings a revolutionary change in the state in 24 hours. His final action is getting the ex-CM arrested for his crimes. In retaliation, the ex-CM sends goons to attack the protagonist and also harms his family.
