Putting to rest all speculation on Sanjay Dutt's future acting plans, his close friend Sanjay Gupta says Dutt will resume shooting for Alibaug in Mumbai.

"Right now I'm in Goa shooting with the entire cast of Alibaug barring Sanju. But he joins us later in Mumbai to complete his work."

Sanjay Dutt has already completed one schedule of Alibaug in Mumbai after which he was incarcerated.

He's expected to join the Alibaug team later during the month.

Says Gupta, "There's absolutely no question of Alibaug without Sanjay Dutt. He's the film's backbone."

In the meanwhile another of Dutt's buddies Bunty Walia is going full-steam ahead with his plans of making Lamha with Sanjay Dutt.

"I'm giving Sanju a completely new look for Lanha. We start shooting next year," informs Bunty.
