Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, who is celebrating his 60th birthday today has received a special letter from none other than filmmakers Mahesh Bhatt.

Mahesh Bhatt wrote an open letter to Sanjay Dutt and sent his best wishes to the actor.

Dear Sanju,

When Ingmar Bergman (the iconic Swedish filmmaker) turned 70, Akira Kurosawa (the great Japanese filmmaker)wrote him a letter for his birthday.
In this letter, he wrote, `A human is born a baby, becomes a boy, goes through youth, the prime of life and finally returns to being a baby before he closes his life. This is, in my opinion, the most ideal way of life.

I believe you would agree that a human becomes capable of producing pure works, without any restrictions, in the days of his second babyhood.`
Don't as me why Sanju, but having shot with you for SADAK 2 after being away from the Director's chair for twenty years, I feel exactly the same way about you.

You are a man, entering the phase of your second babyhood. Every time we're about to shoot an important scene I see you dive deeper and deeper into the wilderness locked in the innermost chambers of your heart and bring out a fire which dazzles not only me but also the younger generation of actors, like Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur.

Watching you now, I am absolutely convinced that as you touch 60 your `real` work, the work that stems from the `real` you, is just beginning.
Today the footprints of time and real-life experience are visible on your gorgeous face like never before.

Your life proves that it is by suffering and suffering alone that one ceases to be just a mere acting machine.

The periods of solitude that you've experienced in prison, face to face with suffering have woken you up to deep love, compassion and understanding. In this industry where there are no second acts you have proved time and again to the world that has always been too keen to write your obituary,that you have the ability to re-invent yourself. How lovely it is to reconnect with you in the 'Autumn years' of our lives, Sanju.

But as the wise say: Autumn is just another Spring.

Happy Birthday.

Love
Mahesh
