/> If you go by the number of filmmakers who have dropped in at Phuket to meet Sanjay Dutt for films then we must presume Dutt is the hottest and most happening leading man of the moment.

During his shooting in Phuket Anees Bazmi, Milan Luthria, Ravi Walia and Ramesh Sippy (Ekta Kapoor's uncle) flew down to Phuket to finalize deals with the suddenly-saleable Dutt who been in Phuket shooting for Blue in the middle of the ocean.

Dutt had all the visitors parked in a specially-hired luxury cruiser while he shot in the ocean.

Dutt's company's CEO Dharam Oberoi joined the gang of revelers with his actress- daughter Neha earlier this week.

"We were here because the number of men there far exceeded the women. Maanyata Bhabhi (Mrs Dutt) needed some female company, so I got Neha along."

Apparently Mrs Sanjay Dutt and Dharam Oberoi's daughter get along exceedingly well and are now happy bonding in the blue expanses while Dutt shoots and meets up with filmmakers from Mumbai.

In Phuket Sanjay Dutt signed two films in one week.

Informs Dharam Oberoi, "Anees Bazmi has signed Baba for an action-comedy that will have two other heroes. Milan Luthria came and narrated a subject with the underworld in the backdrop. Baba has agreed to do that as well.

Ekta's uncle Ramesh too has penciled in Baba for another project. And David Dhawan is expected in Phuket in a day or two for another project."

Clearly then, Dutt is on a signing spree.

Confirms Oberoi, "His dates are booked until the end of 2010. And 2011 is fast getting blocked. This is the best phase of Baba's life. And I'm so glad to be part of it. He's enjoying life and working hard. "
