Sanju’s message comes at a time when his fans are praying for his recovery. The Vaastav hero had recently taken to Twitter to announce a break from work due to health issues. Maanayata too confirmed that the family is going through testing times but refrained from giving out any details.

According to reports, he has been diagnosed with lung cancer and might soon fly to the US for treatment.

Dutt remains one of the busiest actors in the film industry despite the emergence of younger stars. He was last seen in Panipat, which failed to make an impact at the box office. The Arjun Kapoor-starrer received negative reviews from fans and critics alike. He is awaiting the release of the Mahesh Bhatt-helmed Sadak 2, which is slated to release on Disney+ Hotstar on August 28. The film, a sequel to Sadak, has a strong cast that includes Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur. Its trailer has received several ‘dislikes’ as a section of the audience considers the flick to be a ‘product of nepotism’.

Dutt will also be seen KGF Chapter 2, which marks his Kannada debut. The Yash-starrer, a sequel to KGF (2018), is likely to hit screens next year.
