Sanjay Dutt may not be Samajwadi Party's cadidate from Lucknow after the apex court turned down his plea to contest Lok Sabha elections, but the Bollywood actor will still be the face.

Post SC decision, Sanjay Dutt said at a press meet, "I respect SC decision, but will continue to stay in Lucknow. The seat belongs to me and I will be with the candidate in the future."
