Superstar Sanjay Dutt, who was all set to start shooting for Omung Kumar's next The Good Maharaja right after the release of Bhoomi, has reportedly decided to opt out of the project. Though no official announcement has been made yet, the buzz has it that the actor quit the film because director Omung's Bhoomi failed to do any magic at the box office.
Bhoomi marked Dutt's comeback to films after coming out of prison. The success of the film was very crucial for him to start his new innings in Bollywood. However, the movie met with an unfavourable response at the ticket window which upset the actor no end.
The Good Maharaja was announced by Omung Kumar before the release of Bhoomi. Everyone had thought that the film would work and Sanjay Dutt and Omung Kumar would reunite again for their next venture. They had even launched the first poster of the film. However, Bhoomi did not happen and now Sanjay doesn't want to work with an unsuccessful director.
According to reports, Sanjay Dutt currently wants to focus on Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3. He may also start shooting for Sadak 2 or Torbaaz by the end of the year or early next year.
