I can hit and kiss: Sanjay Dutt

Actor Sanjay Dutt is a happy man. After all, he has become a father to two lovely twins, and his film career seems to be doing well, too!

Currently shooting for 'Rascals', and with the current success of 'Double Dhamaal', actor Sanjay Dutt will be seen in a special appearance in Shah Rukh Khan's 'Ra One', not to forget to mention the remake of 'Agneepath' with Karan Johar at the helm.

Excited about getting back to action, Sanjay Dutt is heard to have said: I love action films and roles. We all set out as action heores who beat up the bad men; it was later that we realised that we could not only hit, but we could romance as well. So we did a few romantic movies. Then we realised that the audience found us funny! And that we could make them laugh; then comedies came into the scene. Right now, I'm enjoying the best of all three worlds with a little bit of this, that and the other. So it's good."

Unwilling to talk much about his twins, all that Dutt says is that they make him happy!

Double Dhamaal | Trailer

Double Dhamaal | Movie Review

Story : The gang of Dhamaal -- Adi (Arshad Warsi), Manav (Jaaved Jafri), Boman (Ashish Chowdhury), Roy (Riteish Deshmukh) are back. Once again they have just one purpose in life: to get rich, any which way. This time the plan entails duping their tormentor Kabir (Sanjay Dutt) by messing up his personal and professional life.

Movie Review: First things first, part one was better. It was stupid, but it did have lots of goofy humour and fun. The sequel is more stupid than funny, nevertheless there are enough moments to keep the clock ticking.

The entire film operates as one extended con game where most of the chaos is kicked up by the loser foursome of Arshad, Jaaved, Riteish and Ashish. It's one of the most dysfunctional bunch of friends in Bollywood, where each seems to be more stupid than the other. Yet, when they pool in their mental deficiencies, they do manage to create some madcap moments on screen.

In the first half, they try to ingratiate themselves with Sanjay Dutt in order to win a partnership in his firm. And the fact the he has a svelte girlfriend like Mallika Sherawat and a siren sister like Kangana Ranaut motivates them further. But when they realize the tycoon has put them in a soup by peddling gutter water in the middle of Mumbai as oil, they know it's time for revenge. Specially since they are being hounded by the local gangster (Satish Kaushik) who is baying for their blood. Act two is all about vengeance and one upmanship between the foursome and Sanjay Dutt.

This one's definitely not for the fastidious, choosy viewer but for those who don't mind losing it for a bit, Double Dhamaal works like an average Bollywood comedy. Performance-wise, it's one big circus with the guys hogging most of the limelight. The girls -- Mallika and Kangana -- are mere confetti.

Mallika's bikini scene chopped

After the buzz Mallika generated about donning a two-piece and finally settling for a bikini top with a sarong, it was much ado about nothing, as Mallika Sherawat's bikini look has now been removed from Double Dhamaal. And not surprisingly the actress is miffed about the whole thing.

A source informs us, "When Mallika saw that her bikini sequence was edited from the film, she confronted the director Indra Kumar and producer Ashok Thakeria.

Apparently, the Double Dhamaal makers didn't want family audiences to be offended by the sight of Sherawat in a bikini."

But producer Ashok Thakeria clarifies, "We haven't entirely removed Mallika's bikini scene. But we've voluntarily diluted it. Earlier it was an elaborate bathing sequence. But, now it is just a passing shot."

"We didn't want to offend the family audience and their sensibilities. We don't want Double Dhamaal to be considered a sex comedy. Double Dhamaal is a clean fun family comedy," explains Thakeria.

On the point of Mallika being offended, Thakeria plays down the incident saying, "Oh she'll be fine. She leaves with us for an award function in Canada this week, where she will perform her item song from our film. That should make her happy."
