A lot of excitement was generated when the sequel to the Amitabh Bachchan-Hema Malini classic Satte Pe Satta was announced. A home production by Sanjay Dutt, the movie’s buzz centered on who the leading lady would be, with Vidya Balan being considered a forerunner for a while. But after the pre-production work of the

film was launched, the project suddenly came to a grinding halt, leading many to question if it had been shelved.
Not yet. But director Soham Shah admits that there are some issues. “I think Sanjay will be better able to answer this question, but I have been informed that the film is not going on the floors for now,” he says. “Right now, Sanjay is more focused on Agneepath and Rascals.”
Now the buzz in the industry is that Sanjay is looking to strengthen his market value with these two films as Satte Pe Satte requires a big star cast and high production values — translating into a big budget. The finances for his home production will not be an issue, provided Agneepath and Rascals click commercially. But until then, the project may not take off.
Denying that the project has been shelved, Sanjay’s manager says, “We’re hoping the project will pick up momentum by year’s end.”
