The late actor and his son, Sanjay Dutt, had portrayed the roles of a father-son duo in the 2003 film 'Munna Bhai MBBS'.
Sunil Dutt is hailed as one of the most iconic figures from the classic era of Hindi cinema. He was a leading actor throughout the 1960s and 1970s, giving performances that are still etched into our minds. Besides, he also directed as well as produced many hit films throughout his career.
Dutt was always committed to making good art. He inspired a whole generation to never follow conventional practices, and do something out of the box.
Some of his notable works include 'Mother India', 'Insan Jaag Utha', 'Mujhe Jeene Do', 'Padosan', etc.
Today, on the late actor-filmmaker's birth anniversary, let's travel down memory lane and recall his emotional scene with his son, Sanjay Dutt, in 'Munna Bhai MBBS'.
In the 2003 film 'Munna Bhai MBBS', Sunil Dutt appeared as Hariprasad Sharma, the father to his real-life son Sanjay Dutt. The father-son duo gave a memorable performance in the film, which is still celebrated by fans.
The film's last sequence featured a sweet moment where Sanjay's character gives his father a hug, which he refers to as 'jaadu ki jhappi.' This is still considered one of the most heartwrenching scenes in the history of Hindi cinema.
Last year, on Sunil Dutt's birth anniversary, Sanjay Dutt recalled the scene and wrote a note in his father's memory.
He shared a picture collage consisting of two pictures from their 'jaadu ki jhappi' sequence in the film. He wrote, "Your belief and love helped make me who I am today. You were, are, and will always be my hero. Happy birthday, Dad."
