Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt will finally be released from prison. The "Munna Bhai MBBS" actor will complete his jail sentence - which was given in connection with the 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blast case- on Feb. 25.
The 56-year-old actor, who has been serving five years of imprisonment in Pune's Yerawada Jail, will fly to Mumbai Thursday morning.
"Dutt will be released tomorrow (February 25) in the morning around 10 AM in keeping with the normal procedures as applied to every prisoner who has completed his sentence and jail term," Yerawada Jail Superintendent U.T. Pawar said, according to PTI news agency.
"His remission was worked out in compliance with jail rules and he was treated like any other convict," Pawar added.
Dutt is likely to use a chartered plane to travel to Mumbai in order to avoid any law and order problems, according to sources familiar with the situation.
"While it takes only a little over three hours to travel from Pune to Mumbai by the Expressway, Dutt has been advised to use a chartered plane instead to avoid any law and order problem arising from the media frenzy surrounding his release," a senior police officer told The Indian Express.
The Bollywood actor' daughter Trishala shared videos from Dutt' hit movies - "Khalnayak" and "Kaante" - on her Instagram account as a celebration of her father's release.
"He's going to be back with a bang, as usual. He is someone you can't break, and I'm sure his fans will be completely blown away once he's back. Even I'm excited, [and] I can't wait to see what he's going to do," Trishala told Hindustan Times in a recent interview.
