<span class="s1"><strong>Director: can’t imagine film without Sanjay Dutt</strong></span> <span class="s2">Not even Sanjay Dutt's impending prison sentence will stop the third instalment of the <em>Munnabhai </em>films. The director Subhash Kapoor says the film will begin production once Dutt is released from prison. "We will wait until he completes his jail term," Kapoor said. Munna [Sanjay] and Circuit [Arshad Warsi] are the true spirit of the <em>Munnabhai </em>series. We hope Sanjay will be freed early on humanitarian grounds." The actor was recently sentenced to three and a half years in prison for illegal possession of arms during the 1993 Mumbai blasts. The court has dismissed an appeal by Dutt, who has already spent 18 months behind bars. Dutt signed up for the third film after starring in the first two, <em>Munnabhai MBBS</em> and <em>Lage Raho Munnabhai</em>. </span><span class="s3">– IANS</span> <span class="s1"><strong>Tannishtha Chatterjee turns singer in Gulaab Gang</strong></span> <span class="s2">The actress Tannishtha Chatterjee, who will co-star with Madhuri Dixit in Soumik Sen's forthcoming film <em>Gulaab Gang</em>, says she has a song-and-dance number in the movie.
