After saying good bye to the liquor bottle forever and a new found enthusiasm to be in good health, Sanjay Dutt is preparing for a new battle. The actor is gearing up for the coming elections where he is in the fray as a candidate from Lucknow representing the Samjadwadi Party.

Come March 15 the actor-politician will be busy stationed and rallying in Lucknow for the various election campaigns and related activities that have been organized till the end of April. Due to this Sanju is frantic to complete his work schedule in Mumbai ASAP. Assuming that he will not be able to finish off the shooting for the film ‘All The Best’ in time, Sanjay even recommended Anil Kapoor to take his place.

The reason for this was because the dates allotted by the star for the film was clashing with the days during which he will be busy campaigning in Lucknow. But Ajay Devgan, the producer ‘All The Best’ did not want a no from Sanjay as far as this film was concerned. Without another option, Sanjay agreed and has reportedly allotted fresh dates starting from May.

So will this new role of a full-fledged politician fit our Munnabhai? Sanjay is quite optimistic that he will get a favourable verdict.
