Presented in five Indian languages, Mahavatar Narsimha has been edited by Kleem Productions and produced by Shilpaa Dhawan, Kushal Desai, and Chaitanya Desai. The screenplay, written by Jayapurna Das and Rudra Pratap Ghosh, has been particularly appreciated. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Sanjay Dutt Reveals What He Did With Rs 72 Crore Property That Fan Left Him Before Dying
Last Updated: Sanjay Dutt returned a Rs 72 crore inheritance from fan Nisha Patil to her family. It's not every day that someone leaves you property worth Rs 72 crore. However, that's exactly what happened to Sanjay Dutt. The actor recently opened up about this unbelievable moment in his life and revealed that he chose to return the entire inheritance to the fan's family. In a conversation with Curly Tales, Dutt was asked whether it was true that a female fan had bequeathed him the property before passing away in 2018. Confirming the story, he said simply, 'I gave it back to her family." Back in 2018, a devoted fan of Sanjay Dutt, Nisha Patil, made headlines after she left her entire property, worth a massive Rs 72 crore, to the actor. The unexpected gesture left Dutt stunned. Nisha, a 62-year-old homemaker from Mumbai, was reportedly suffering from a terminal illness and had informed her bank to hand over all her assets to Dutt after her death. The actor, who made his debut in 1981 with Rocky, has enjoyed a successful, albeit controversial, career in Hindi cinema. Over the decades, Dutt starred in a range of popular films including Vidhaata, Naam, Saajan, Khal Nayak and Vaastav, cementing his place as one of Bollywood's most charismatic actors. However, his journey was interrupted by legal troubles. He was arrested under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) for possessing illegal weapons linked to the 1993 Bombay blasts. Though eventually acquitted under TADA, he was convicted under the Arms Act and sentenced to five years in prison. He completed his sentence in 2016 after several paroles and furloughs. Dutt made a major comeback with the 2003 blockbuster Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., a film that became a cultural phenomenon. His life story was later adapted into the 2018 film Sanju, directed by longtime collaborator Rajkumar Hirani, with Ranbir Kapoor portraying the actor. Sanju went on to become one of Indian cinema's biggest hits. Currently, Dutt is busy with multiple projects. In 2025 alone, he has five films lined up. The Bhootnii and Housefull 5 have already hit theatres, while Akhanda 2, Dhurandhar, and The RajaSaab are set to release later this year. He is also part of the Kannada film KD – The Devil, which is slated for release in 2026. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
