"Sanju had applied for the visa as soon as he learnt of the diagnosis. However, initially, it wasn't easy to get the clearance since the actor was among those acquitted in the 1993 Bombay blasts. Fortunately, one of his close friends helped the actor secure a five-year visa on medical grounds. He is expected to fly to New York with Maanayata and Priya, where he will pursue treatment at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre," a source told Mid-Day. Sanjay Dutt will undergo treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre, the same hospital where his mother Nargis Dutt was admitted for her treatment. The veteran actress was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Sanjay and Maanayata celebrated the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi in the simplest way possible. The ‘Lage Raho Munna Bhai’ actor shared a picture with his wife from their celebrations on social media and hoped that ‘Bappa’ blessed everyone with health and happiness. “The celebrations aren't as huge as they used to be every year but the faith in Bappa remains the same. I wish that this auspicious festival removes all the obstacles from our lives and bless us all with health and happiness. Ganpati Bappa Moryaa,” the ‘Parineeta’ actor wrote while sharing the photo on Instagram.

Maanayata Dutt and her two kids, Iqra and Shahraan, returned to Mumbai from Dubai after Sanjay was admitted to the hospital. She was stuck in Dubai due to the COVID-19 crisis and returned in a special flight to support her husband during the tough times.

On the professional front, Sanjay Dutt will be next seen in ‘Sadak 2’. The movie will premiere directly on Disney+ Hotstar on August 28, 2020.
