“This is a recent scar in my life. But I will beat it. I will be out of cancer soon,” he said. Dutt also confirmed that he was back to shooting and was happy to be on set. His next film will begin shooting in November.

The 61-years-old actor was diagnosed with lung cancer in August after he developed breathing problems but tested negative for the coronavirus. In a statement issued at the time, Sanjay Dutt said that he was taking a short leave from work for medical treatment.
