ON A MISSION: Sanjay Dutt

'I WANT PEACE IN THE VALLEY ...says Sanjay Dutt, whose new film is close to what's happening in kashmir       Just when you though peace had finally returned to the Valley, separatist violence has broken out again. The Army is out for the first time in two decades, and curfew has been declaed in Srinagar, This is for real. It's not a scene from Rahul Dhoakia's Lamhaa that's being released by GS Entertainment and PVR Pictures on July 16.           The film, not strangely, is based entirely on life and events in Kashmir, with Sanjay Dutt playing a deadly para-military commando out to expose the ugly truth of the corrupt nexus between politicians, military and inteligence. With terrorism and the plight of the Kashmiri people caught in this terrifying scenario being the backdrop of the film.          Dutt, who has come a long way from playing underworld dons and the endearing Munnabhai, teams up with Bengali bombshell Bipasha Basu in amhaa. The macho actor has a deep connection with Kashmir since he shot his debut here for Bollywood with Rocky in 1980 and then did Mission Kashmir in 2000. Through a script of danger and betrayal in his new film, Dutt speaks out vehemently against injustice and loopholes in the political system.          Talking to CT. the actor hoped his character reaches out as the voice of the common man on a mission to fight the system. Said Dutt, "It is a fact that I Lamhaa is about the reality of Kashmir, but it is also very strongly about hope, peace and harmony. I have a very strong connect with kashmir and the wonderful people that live there, and it gave me immense satisfaction to be part of this film."
