Sanjay Dutt will soon be seen in a courtroom drama, Aakhri Sawal. The film is all set to release on May 8. However, the makers are yet to release the trailer. It has reportedly been put on hold due to pending
clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The development has sparked curiosity among fans who were eagerly waiting for a glimpse of the film. The trailer was supposed to release on April 30.
Bollywood Hungama quoted a source saying, “The trailer has now been postponed due to pending censor clearance.” The censors have asked for some changes. The new release date for the trailer has not yet been revealed.”
Teaser out
The teaser opens with lead actors talking about historical events and debates, including references to the ban imposed after Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination and the controversy surrounding the Babri Masjid demolition. Aakhri Sawal promises to present a powerful narrative inspired by the 100-year journey of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, founded in 1925 by Keshav Baliram Hedgewar.
The film is set to revolve around a pivotal meeting that reportedly altered the course of the nation, aiming to go beyond conventional historical accounts. It seeks to explore themes of selfless service and uncover lesser-known aspects of India’s socio-political journey.
Alongside Sanjay Dutt, the film features a strong ensemble including Amit Sadh, Namashi Chakraborty, Sameera Reddy, Tridha Choudhury and Neetu Chandra. The project is directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Abhijeet Mohan Warang, who previously earned recognition for his Marathi film Picasso.
Backed By Experienced Producers
The film is presented by Nikhil Nanda and produced by Nikhil Nanda and Sanjay Dutt under the banners of Nikhil Nanda Motion Pictures and Neem Tree Entertainment. It is co-produced by Puneet Nanda, Dr. Deepak Singh, Gaurav Dubey and Ujjwal Anand, with writing credits going to Utkarsh Naithani.
Sanjay Dutt’s upcoming work
The actor has recently announced his next, Khalnayak sequel. The actor unveiled the first look on April 24, instantly sending fans into a frenzy, especially with the unmistakable echo of the cult track Khal Nayak Hoon Main playing in the background. Sharing the announcement, Dutt wrote, “Kuch kahaani khatam nahi hoti… woh dobara shuru hoti hai. Khalnayak Returns.” While details around the cast and release timeline remain tightly guarded, the reveal alone has been enough to reignite memories of a film that continues to hold a firm place in pop culture. The original Khalnayak, directed by Subhash Ghai, released in 1993 and went on to become one of the most defining films of its time. Starring Sanjay Dutt as the infamous Ballu, alongside Madhuri Dixit and Jackie Shroff, the film blurred the line between hero and villain, presenting a morally complex protagonist who was both feared and, at moments, deeply human.
