Sanjay Dutt went on to write, “Shamshera found a lot of people hating on It: some of the hate came from people who didn’t even watch It. I find It horrible that people don’t respect the hard work we all put in. I admire Karon as a filmmaker, and mostly as a person. He Is one of the best directors I have worked with in my long career of four decades. He has the knack of giving characters that strike a chord. We did that with Agneepath, where he gave me Kancha Cheena to play. The process of working on It was brilliant. Ho hosted me again with Shamshera and what a ball of a time we had making this film, and bringing to life Shuddh Singh.”
“Karan Is like family and success or failure aside, it will always be an honour to work with him. I stand by him always. Shamshera will find its tribe someday but until it does, I stand resolute with the film, the memories we created, the bond we shared, and the laughs we had. the hardships we went through. I thank the whole unit – cast and crew of the film who stayed with the film for four years. through the pandemic, through my own personal rough times,” added Sanjay Dutt who played Shuddh Singh in the film.
