There were reports that Dutt's production house is facing a crisis and the first film from his camp 'Hasmukh Pighal Gaya' has been shelved. Also it said that people working in the production house have been asked to leave as the 55-year-old actor is serving his jail term and wife Manayata, who is running the company, is finding it difficult.
However, officials at Sanjay Dutt's Productions Pvt Ltd, have rubbished the reports.
`The reports of our production house shutting down are completely untrue. Our projects are smoothly progressing as per our plans with 'Hasmukh Pighal Gaya' looking at a 2015 summer release.
