Sanjay Dutt is known for his versatility, having acted in romance, action, and comedy films. Now, he is venturing into the horror-comedy genre with 'The Virgin Tree.' In this film, he shares the screen with Mouni Roy and Palak Tiwari. Not only does he star in it, but he is also co-producing the movie.
Playing a Ghostbuster
In 'The Virgin Tree,' Sanjay Dutt plays the role of a ghostbuster. Producer Deepak Mukut revealed that Dutt's character uses various gadgets to hunt down spirits. The story revolves around a mysterious tree with supernatural elements. This film is not just about horror; it also has musical elements, adding a unique twist to the genre.
The Story Behind the Film
The idea for 'The Virgin Tree' came from Sanjay Dutt himself. About five years ago, Dutt shared the story with Deepak Mukut. Initially, Mukut had approached Dutt for a music video, but they decided to collaborate on this horror comedy instead. At that time, the film's director, Sidhaant Sachdev, was working with Vikram Bhatt.
The Meaning Behind the Title
The film's title, 'The Virgin Tree,' has an interesting backstory. Deepak Mukut explained that 'vir' stands for 'vardaan,' meaning blessing in Hindi, and 'gin' is a play on the word 'djinn,' referring to supernatural beings. So, the title actually means 'The Var-djinn Tree.' However, the team is considering changing the English title to something more appealing to a broad audience.
Release Plans
Currently, 'The Virgin Tree' is a working title. The filmmakers aim to release the movie in August this year, although the exact date has not been confirmed yet. Fans are eagerly awaiting this new project.
