Signs as many as five films. PS: Did he know he wouldn't be able to contest elections?

Sanjay Dutt probably had an inkling that he wouldn't be able to contest the Lok Sabha elections. That's precisely why he said yes to as many as 5 new assignments in the last couple of months.

In fact producers wishing to meet Dutt are being given time in Lucknow for negotiations and story sessions.
 
Before leaving for Lucknow, Sanjay aid yes to The Fast & The Furious director Rob Cohen's first Bollywood project to be produced by Firoz Nadiadwala.

Dutt will share screen space with Amitabh Bachchan again (after Shootout At Lokhandwala) in this film.

Sanjay Dutt Productions CEO, Dharam Oberoi says, "Mr Dutt is clearly telling the industry he's available for as many films as he used to be, politics or no politics."

Cleverly, Sanjay Dutt has let the film industry know that he would have no problems resuming his on-hold film career after contesting the elections.

Up next is the Ajay Devgan comedy All The Best directed by Rohit Shetty, Anil Kapoor's No Problem directed by Anees Bazmee.

He also said yes to new films by producers Sohail Maklai and Indra Kumar (who's making a sequel to the Dutt-Riteish Deshmukh-Arshad Warsi-Jaaved Jaaferi comedy Dhamaal).
