Sanjay Dutt refused KGF 2 producers’ offer to shoot action against green screen

Actor Sanjay Dutt has gotten back to acting after his battle with cancer with the forthcoming Kannada film KGF: Chapter 2. The actor portrays the antagonist in the Yash-starrer. In a recent interview, the actor conceded that he found it difficult to return to the sets after his cancer recovery but his desire to shoot ‘the film correctly’ kept pushing him to keep going.

Talking to Mid-Day, Sanjay talked about how the producers of KGF 2 wanted him to shoot the heavy-duty action sequences of the movie in front of a green screen so he doesn’t exert himself. However, the actor refused. He said, “They did everything they could to make me comfortable. They suggested we shoot it against a green screen. But as an actor, shooting this film correctly was important to me. We had a grand vision for it. The climax had to be mounted on a large scale. It was a difficult climax — there was mud, dust, fire and a lot of action. I couldn’t have done that shoot without their help.”

“I am back with renewed enthusiasm. It doesn’t take me down. I got by, thanks to my fans’ prayers,” the actor added.
