Sanjay Dutt is making the most of his old Munnabhai wardrobe and is using it to lure in the crowds as he campaigns for the Samajwadi Party in Bihar.
Though the Supreme Court has ruled that Dutt cannot contest, he has been appointed General Secretary to the party so he can stay close to politics and campaign for them.And the actor is pulling out all the stops for the campaign. On a recent visit to Bihar, he brought out his Munnabhai avatar from his hit films Munnabhai MBBS and Lage Raho Munnabhai. He even addressed the crowds with dialogues from the movies. A source present, says, “He was on full swing and used his famous dialogues from Munnabhai to drive the crowd crazy. The actor was quite efficient in engaging the masses.”Sanjay even compared the potential voters to Circuit, his sidekick played by Arshad Warsi, from the Munnabhai series. The source adds, “The line of his speech which had the most effect was when he said, ‘In my film I had one Circuit but here, I can see a thousand Circuits, who have come to support me and SP. It’s nice to see a lot of affection and though I am not contesting this time, I hope to the next time’.”His exact words were: "Munnabhai mein sirf ek Circuit tha. Yahan par jitne hazaron log maujood hain, saare mere Circuit hain."Sanjay was meant to contest for the Samajwadi Party in Lucknow. His ambition of emulating his father and sister by going to the Lok Sabha was shattered on March 31 when the Supreme Court ruled that he could not contest since he had been convicted in the 1993 bomb blasts case. Sanjay was convicted by an anti-terror court for possessing a prohibited weapon.
