Sanjay Dutt hires helicopter for Agneepath

Apparently Sanjay Dutt is so homesick that he flies back every evening from Dui to Mumbai in a chopper to be with his twins.

An actor alighting from a hovering chopper is a scene trademark of Karan Johar's cinema. Remember Shah Rukh Khan's entry sequence in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Ghum ! This time however, it is a behind-the-scene from a Karan Johar film.

Sanjay Dutt who is presently shooting for Karan Johar's remake of Agneepath in Diu is using a helicopter to travel to the shooting location. "Sanjay Dutt plays the negative lead in the film and is reprising Kancha Cheena's character (played by Danny in the original). The Mandva village from the original is being recreated in Diu where the film is currently being shot", says a source associated with the film.

Apparently Sanjay Dutt is homesick and so he flies back every evening to Mumbai to be with his twins. "Dui is around 3 hours drive from Mumbai. Since driving isn't a viable option, Sanju Baba has hired a chopper for his to-and-fro visit to the sets", confirms the source.

Incidentally Hrithik Roshan, who plays the male lead in the Agneepath remake, had used the same mode-of-transport while shooting for Jodhaa Akbar at ND Studios in Karjat. He used to fly back to the city in his chopper to avoid the long journey time and the city traffic.
