In the letter published by Mumbai Mirror, Mahesh Bhatt begins by quoting from a letter written by Japanese filmmaker Akiro Kurosawa to Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman. He writes that the “ideal way of life” is a complete cycle that goes from baby to youth to prime of life to “second babyhood”.

He adds, “Having shot with you for Sadak 2 after being away from the director’s chair for 20 years, I feel exactly the same way about you. You are a man, entering the phase of your second babyhood.”

Mahesh Bhatt concludes the letter by saying that he is grateful to have gotten the opportunity to work with Sanjay Dutt in the ‘autumn years’ of their lives.

Elaborating on the time they spent together on the sets of Sadak 2, Mahesh Bhatt writes about how the fire within Sanjay Dutt dazzles not just him but also the next generation of actors like Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur.

Your life proves that it is by suffering, and suffering alone, that one ceases to be just a mere acting machine. The periods of solitude that you’ve experienced in prison, face to face with suffering, have woken you up to deep love, compassion and understanding,” says Mahesh Bhatt.
