Released in 1999, Vaastav was directed by Mahesh Manjrekar and had a runtime of around 2 hours and 25 minutes. The film also starred Namrata Shirodkar and Sanjay Narvekar. It proved to be a turning point in Sanjay Dutt’s career. Before this, he had delivered 13 consecutive flops, but Vaastav brought him back into the spotlight.
In an earlier interview, Sanjay had said, “Vaastav taught me how to act. This film is very close to my heart.” The film also earned him his first Filmfare Award for Best Actor.
Sanjay Dutt was last seen in Dhurandhar 2, where he played the role of Chaudhary Aslam, and the film was well-received. He now has several projects lined up, including KD: The Devil, Raja Shivaji, Aakhri Sawal, and Baap. Fans are eagerly waiting to see him on the big screen again with these upcoming films.
