Sanjay Dutt (born July 29, 1959) is an Indian film actor, producer and politician, known for his work in Hindi cinema. Dutt, son of film actors Sunil Dutt and Nargis Dutt, made his acting debut in 1981. He has since featured in films that are amongst some of the most popular Hindi language films of the past three decades. Although Dutt has enjoyed major success in movie genres ranging from romance to comedy, it has been the roles of gangsters, thugs and police officers in films representing the action genres that has won Dutt unprecedented adulation, with fans and Indian film critics alike referring to him as the "Deadly Dutt," for his larger-than-life portrayals of such characters. Supreme Court of India in a judgement on 21st March 2013 convicted Sanjay Dutt in the illegal possession of arms relating to the 1993 Mumbai blasts case and sentenced him to 5 years imprisonment.He was asked to surrender within 4 weeks which has been extended by another 4 weeks on appeal but was told no further extension will be given.Earlier he had been sentenced to 5 years imprisonment by a TADA court.[3][4][5][6][7]
