The big Salman Khan-Sanjay Dutt patch-up

/> It happened on Thursday on the sets of Anil Sharma's Veer at Film City.

Long-standing buddies Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt (whom Salman repeatedly in the past acknowledged as his role model until things went sour between them) met up on the sets of the Salman starrer Veer and poured their hearts out to each other.

A few days earlier when Salman heard Dutt was shooting on an adjoining set at Film City he decided to pay his estranged friend a visit.

Says a source, "It's true Salman came all the way to Sanju's set. But when he realized Dutt was shooting for Bunty Walia he quickly beat a retreat."

Walia, it must be remembered, was a Salman groupie until a few years ago when things soured between them.

And now Salman doesn't want to see Bunty's face. So he regretfully turned back from his meeting with Dutt. When Dutt heard about this, he took charge of the situation.

On Thursday afternoon he walked up to Salman's sets and spent a good 45 minutes with his old friend. The ice between them broke the minute they hugged. They spoke about everything on this earth, except films, " says the source.

But at the end of the reunion, Dutt and Khan decided to do a film together. The two will be coming together in a film to be produced by Sanjay Dutt.

So what had gone wrong between Salman and his erstwhile mentor and role model?

The two were thick as thieves until a world tour where Salman apparently cut his hand to impress Dutt...a macho gesture that didn't go down well Dutt.

Soon after the above incident in the US, Dutt had said to me in an interview, "I wish he would model himself on my better qualities. I do have many good qualities.

Salman should keep a low profile and work hard and get serious in life. All the playing around isn't finally worth it. Ultimately all of us want to be remembered as good hardworking humanbeings.

The hit-and-run incident wouldn't have made such a media splash if it wasn't Salman Khan. But because he has been constantly in the news he went to jail and had to suffer. Being rash and brash in life is finally selfdefeating."

Having come to terms with his own rashness and brashness Salman seems to be mending the bridges with old friends. Sanjay Dutt was on top of his list.

Says the source, "They met like nothing had gone wrong between them. And have promised to meet up regularly."
