Sanjay’s item for Anil
12 Jul 2008, 0000 hrs IST, REAGAN GAVIN RASQUINHA ,TNN

This double whammy is one with a difference.

Get a load of this: Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt, who haven’t shared significant screen time together in years, are now coming together for the music video of a film called Shortkut. And the macho men will be appearing as themselves. No screen names.

In the video — a rocking number by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy with lyrics by Javed Akhtar and choreography by Bosco — the two studs woo the lovely Amrita Arora. But getting them together was no easy task.
Says Anil, who is also the producer of the film, “This is a remake of a Malayalee film, to which co-writer Anees Bazmee and co-writer-director Neeraj Vohra added a lot of things and some wonderful talent. Akshaye Khanna plays the lead and there’s also Arshad Warsi and Chunky Pandey.”

Word has it that it was Anil who called on Dutt. “Well, there was a requirement for two male stars in the video with Amrita. Everyone felt that Sanjay would be the perfect character.” And how did they connect? “I gave him a call. And we spoke about about how long it’s been since we’ve worked together. He said ‘I’ll come over’. And I said ‘No, I’ll come over.’ Then he said, ‘No, I’ll come over yaar!’ I had to force him into letting me come over. But when I met him, it took him only about a second to agree to do this,” says Anil.

For Dutt, the feeling of professional camaraderie is mutual. “It’s a great feeling to be working with Anil after all these years. He has been a great friend and colleague through thick and thin. He personally approached me to do this song with him and that was that.”

But why did it take them so long to work together? “It’s all part of showbusiness, the whole rollercoaster. There are people who work together after 30 years!” he says, then somewhat carefully asks, “What did Anil tell you about it?”

   Its always a pleasure to see two of my favorite actors together!! An action or a comedy film with Sanju and Anil together would rock!! what say shetty bhai?

   ps: is it just me or Sanju doesnt look as fit as he is made out to be by the press (i.e. six pack et all)

   A comedy would be good. Musafir was a bit of a missed opportunity, not enough scenes between the two.

   Would be good to see them in a film rather than a music video…

   Must add here it’s absolutely great to see Anil strike back again(for probably the 5th time in his career)! His ability to re-invent himself and adapt to changing times shines through…loved his recent work in WELCOME, BLACK AND WHITE and RACE…Looking fwd to YUVRAAJ too(despite having Salman, Anil has ALWAYS stole the show in a Ghai film).

   MUSAFIR wasn’t really a “faceoff” between Dutt and Kapoor…a action/comedy ala LETHAL WEAPON would rock!~
