GUPTA SCRAPS DUTT VOICE IN 'ALIBAUG'
Though director Sanjay Gupta and Sanjay Dutt had been good friends for long, but their relations aren't as sweet as in the past. This is to recall that Sanjay Gupta had already replaced his close friend Sanjay Dutt with Irrfan Khan for his upcoming film 'Alibaug'. Now, he has decided to scrap a song in the movie, which was originally recorded in Dutt's voice. Besides, Sanjay justifies his action by stating that the song needs a professional playback voice now, as it won't be suitable to have Sanjay's voice for Irrfan. The director would also have to work on the song's footage, as the video was initially shot with Bollywood's 'Munnabhai' Sanjay Dutt. However, the film's lead actor, Irrfan Khan doesn't mind Sanjay's voice. But at the same time, Irrfan would prefer a playback singer.
