Sanjay Dutt's Bhoomi, which begins filming next month, will be his first film after he finished his five-year jail sentence in an illegal arms possession case linked to the 1993 Bombay Blasts
Mamata Banerjee had good relations with late actor Sunil Dutt, and had rallied behind Sanjay who was handed a five-year sentence by the Supreme Court for illegal weapons possession in a case linked to the 1993 serial blasts
"Salman is my younger brother. He was, he is and he will always be my brother. God has given him all the success, all his cases are over, but I request the media not to make an issue out of it," says Sanjay Dutt
"I waited for this day of azadi (freedom) for 23 years. I am not a terrorist. I was in jail under the Arms Act. It is a request, please don't call me a 1993 Bombay blast convict," said Sanjay Dutt, who walked out of jail on February 25 after completing his sentence in an arms case related to the 1993 Mumbai blasts
