Sanjay Dutt tells "Ferrari Ki Sawaari" reminded him of his late father, actor Sunil Dutt, and the emotional moments he spent with him. This is because the movie is about a father who thinks about nothing but his son and his dreams.

"It's an honest film. It's full of values, bonding and about father-son relationship. It reminded me of my relationship with my dad," Sanjay told here.

"My dad was never really physical with me. He took very long to say he loves me. I obviously knew the love was always there," he added.

Directed by Rajesh Mapuskar, produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, "Ferrari Ki Sawaari" is set to release Friday.

Sanjay shared screen space with his father in Chopra's "Munnabhai M.B.B.S.".

Sharing about some fond memories from the 2003 hit film, he told, "There was a scene in 'Munnabhai' where he had to hug me. He had met with an accident that day, his shoulder was jammed and he could barely raise his hand to hug me. We all saw how much pain he was in."

"In fact, Vidhu even asked him to go home and rest. But he insisted that he wanted to finish the shoot. And he did. Believe me the way he hugged me in that shot, it was so tight and full of love, it wasn't acting... it was for real. This movie is that real and reminds me of my dad," added the 52-year-old.

Bollywood bad boy Sanjay Dutt who was involved in an ugly spat with RGV over 'Department' failure seems to be smitten by south India's sexy siren and mallu bomb Priyamani. Sanjay expressed his desire to indulge in hot romance with her in his forthcoming film which is a remake of Kollywood super-hit Saamy. Director K. S. Ravikumar is looking for Bollywood star to cast opposite Sunju baba but he is keen to romance Priyamani and no one else. Sources tells "In fact, Sanjay watched two of Priyamani's diametrically opposite movies; the Tamil film Paruthiveeran that won her the national award and the Telugu film Golimar, which had her in a glamorous role. He thinks she's a good choice. She would be playing the role of an innocent and orthodox girl who falls in love with a city police commissioner."

Source close to Priyamani tells "Priyamani's other B-town film has been deferred for a few months as director Chandrakant Singh replaced Riteish Deshmukh with Irfan Khan who is basking in the success of Paan Singh Tomar. "Chandrakanth is reworking the script to suit Irfan Khan, but Priyamani will be doing the film." Priyamani could allot those dates to Sanjay's cop story, With 50 days to spare in June and July the actress also celebrated her birthday recently on June 4 in Bengaluru. "It was a family affair and they all went out for a quiet dinner," tells the source.

Reluctant to confirm Sanjay's offer, Priyamani confessed, "Talks are on but nothing is fixed yet." With Mani Rathnam's Raavan failing to give her leverage, a movie with Dutt could be her best bet to kick-start a B-town career once again.

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who lashed out at Sanjay Dutt and swore never to work with him, after the release of "Department", seems to be extending an olive branch to the actor.

Varma blames Dharam Oberoi, CEO of Sanjay's production company, for the disaster of the "Department", claiming he interfered a lot during the making of the movie. However, the filmmaker is now happy that the actor has been removed from his company.

"Don't know if Dharam is out of Sanjay's life but if true it's the best news I heard because he's more dangerous for Sanjay than the 1993 blast case," Varma posted.

"More than for sorting out my differences with Sanjay I am happy that the evil disease is out of Sanjay's life," he further added.
