Several media reports are saying that Madhuri Dixit called ex flame Sanjay Dutt recently to ensure that the biopic on the actor being made by Rajkumar Hirani would drop all references to her.
When the work on biopic started last year, Madhuri Dixit had similarly approached Hirani not to rake up her affair with Sanjay Dutt and the director had reportedly agreed reluctantly.
But in the scripting team, there was reportedly a second thought that the relationship with Madhuri Dixit covers a crucial segment of Sanjay Dutt's life and would have to be brought in some way.
That seems to have made Madhuri Dixit place a call to Sanjay Dutt, 25 years after she had called off their relationship.
Among the different relationships Sanjay Dutt has had, the most talked about and scandalous was his affair with Madhuri Dixit.
After languishing in the industry for a few years, Madhuri Dixit became a sensation with the Mohini character in Tezaab in 2008. for her next film Kanoon Apna Apna, she was signed opposite Sanjay Dutt. The film today remembered today only for its steamy scenes and a kiss between the two brought them close together in real life as well.
It caused a scandal and was bitterly opposed by Madhuri Dixit's family as Sanjay Dutt was married to Richa Sharma, who was ailing, and also had a young daughter, Trishala. But after Richa passed away from cancer the couple got very close till Sanjay Dutt went to jail after the 1992 blasts.
Madhuri Dixit cut off her relationship with Sanjay Dutt so abruptly and ruthlessly, many common friends were taken aback.
Film journalist Bharati Pradhan wrote in The Telegraph that "Madhuri had always been a clean player. A Dutt-Dixit alliance would’ve been disastrous and she was too sensible not to see it."
A few years later Dixit married Dr. Shriram Madhav Nene, a cardiovascular surgeon from Los Angeles and had two sons, Arin and Rayaan from him.
In the biopic, Ranbit Kapoor is set to play Sanjay Dutt and the filmmakers are looking for two actresses to play Richa Sharma and Manyata, his present wife.
