Bollywood seems to be eagerly waiting for Sanjay Dutt to come out of jail in the last week of February. Filmmaker and Sanju’s good friend Rajkumar Hirani is also apparently plans to begin work on ‘Munnabhai’ series once Dutt is out. “I have not been in touch with Sanju for a long time. So I am waiting for him to come out to then take it ahead,” updates Hirani. In the meantime, work on Sanjay Dutt’s biopic has also slowed down. Hirani adds, “I am just waiting for the release of ‘Saala Khadoos’, then we’ll jump into the biopic. The script of that film is complete and we have got Ranbir on board. Nothing else is done yet.”
