A friendship that has lasted for decades
Salman and Sanjay have shared a close personal and professional bond for more than three decades. They have appeared together in films including Saajan (1991), Chal Mere Bhai (2000) and Yeh Hai Jalwa (2002).
Speaking to Curly Tales last year, Sanjay reflected on their relationship while looking at an old photograph from the Saajan days.
"I think it's from the time of Saajan. Salman is a lovely person, he's like a younger brother to me. I can't detach from him - he is my brother," Dutt had said.
On the work front, Salman will next be seen in Maatrubhumi, inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley clash.
Sanjay Dutt, meanwhile, is preparing for Khalnayak Returns after appearing in several releases this year.
