- With Vidhu being the first visitor, we wonder if the filmmaker is finally going ahead with the Sanjay Dutt biopic.
- Dutt was out from jail in December last year to celebrate Christmas and New Year with family.
- Grant of furlough and parole to Dutt in the past have attracted criticism that he was being given special treatment by jail authorities, an accusation denied by the authorities.
- "Dutt will be granted parole after completing legal formalities within a couple of days," Kurlekar said. But it looks like all the paperwork was fast-tracked as the actor was out the same evening.
- Dutt had applied for parole recently citing his daughter's illness, jail official Milind Kurlekar said on Wednesday. He was sanctioned 30 days parole by the Divisional Commissioner.
- Convicted under the Arms Act for illegal possession of weapons in the 1993 Mumbai blast case, the actor has been out of jail for 146 days, since his sentence began here in May 2013, availing of furlough and parole leave.
- The two worked together in the commercially successful 'PK' that also went on to become an international success.
- Producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra drove to Sanjay's residence last evening to meet the star and catch up.
- The 56-year-old actor, who had returned to Yerawada Central Prison in January after a 14-day furlough, went back home last evening and had a surprise visitor drop in to greet him.
