According to reports, Dutt was supposed to be seen in Vishesh Films' next alongside Bhatt camp loyalist Emraan Hashmi, but now the plan has gone haywire.

Sanjay Dutt will not be seen in the film. The actor had confirmed that he will be a part of this project way back in January after Vishesh Films' Chairman MD Mukesh Bhatt and director Kunal Deshmukh had visited his Pali Hill residence for a meeting.

Talking about the meeting with Sanjay Dutt, Mahesh Bhatt had earlier said, “Sanjay has a very special place in our hearts. He was our first hero in the very first venture of Vishesh Films, ‘Kabzaa’. He sent us a very sweet message saying 'It's great to come back home.”

Later, Sanju opted out from the film, citing date issues. A source said, "Dutt said that he wouldn't be able to get on board before April 2012. Bhatts want to put Kunal's film on floors in August. Surely, they can't wait for additional eight months."
