After playing the simple, golden-hearted Munnabhai, Sanjay Dutt is set to metamorphose into a cold, calculating serial killer – a la Charles Sobhraj in a film called Charles and I.
Made by People Pictures, the racy thriller will be helmed by ace director Prawaal Raman and tells the story of the enigmatic French criminal of Indian and Vietnamese origin, who sent the police forces in half a dozen countries on a wild-goose chase.
“It is a great role and I look forward to working on the film,” said Sanjay.
On roping in Sanjay for the lead role, writer-director Raman said: “Charles is a complex character – a charming man with a dangerous mind and dangerous intentions. Finding the right actor, who has the ability to exude all these qualities at the same time, was a tough call.
We were looking for an actor who radiates star power coupled with the finest acting prowess to portray Charles. The only actor in my opinion who fitted that profile was Sanjay Dutt.”
