He may have played a suave businessman in 'Kidnap' or a tough cop in 'Shoot Out At Lokhandwala'. However, Sanjay Dutt's identity has always been connected with being either 'Munnabhai' or 'Khalnayak'.

Both being immensely lovable roles, were chalk and cheese, but gave an exponential rise to Sanju baba's fan base. What really worked in the favors of these characters? An intrinsic wit that stayed on with audiences for years to come.

Something similar is expected in case of Sujoy Ghosh directed 'Aladin' as well, where Sanjay Dutt's character of 'Ringmaster' brings in a certain wit to it that makes it stand out from the crowd.

Yes, he is the villain of the piece in the lives of 'Aladin' (Riteish Deshmukh), 'Genius - The Genie' (Amitabh Bachchan) and Jasmine (Jacqueline Fernandez). Still, his presence in the narrative, not just brings in the scares, but also laces it with trademark Sanju baba humor.

Says Sujoy for whom it was a surreal moment to be directing Mr. Dutt (as he respectfully calls him), "Roping in Mr. Dutt in the role of Ringmaster worked superbly for us due to two reasons.

First and foremost the character is such that only Mr. Dutt could have done it. Secondly, our 'Ringmaster' is more of a 'lovable' character than being a quintessential villain.

His mannerisms, his body language, the way he talks and the words that he uses gives him a certain edge. This is why we had to write dialogues that suited both Mr. Dutt and our 'Ringmaster'."

As per insiders who have had a dekko at the film, Sanjay Dutt certainly seems to be on a roll playing the role of 'Ringmaster'.

Says a source, "With his trademark dialogue delivery, Sanjay Dutt brings in quite a few laughs, even though he plays a villain. He has also incorporated a singsong manner of mouthing a few dialogues that will work especially with children. Some of his antics are bound to become a rage once the film hits the screens."

Well, we are certainly waiting with bated breath to see Sanju baba at his best in this one.
