Sanjay Dutt quits Welcome to the Jungle?
The media report suggests Sanjay Dutt conveyed all the issues to his friend Akshay Kumar, who is an integral part of Welcome to the Jungle. "Sanjay Dutt felt that the Welcome To The Jungle shoot was happening in an unplanned way, with too many changes in the script, disturbing his diary of the shoot, and hence has parted ways," a source told the entertainment portal.
For the uninitiated, Sanjay had reportedly shot some funny portions of Welcome to the Jungle in the first schedule of the Ahmed Khan directorial. Considering the same, the makers are ready to use the same in the film and credit Dutt for a guest appearance.
A source further told the portal that the makers have come up with an interesting idea to integrate into the screenplay that Sanjay goes missing after a few scenes in Welcome to the Jungle.
