Sanjay Dutt to star in Sai Tej’s film

Sai Dharam Tej is gearing up for his next big film, Sambarala Yetigattu (SYG), directed by debutant Rohit KP.

In a major casting coup, Bollywood veteran Sanjay Dutt is likely to portray the primary antagonist in Sambarala Yetigattu. According to recent Telugu media reports, the film’s team has already met the Munna Bhai MBBS star and narrated the script.

Reports suggest that Sanjay Dutt was not only impressed with the gripping storyline but was also swayed by the lucrative remuneration offered.

The seasoned actor, who has previously portrayed powerful negative roles in films like KGF: Chapter 2 and Leo, is expected to bring his signature intensity to the film.

Sanjay Dutt already acted in Telugu in films like Ram Pothineni’s “Double iSmart”. He demands huge paycheck.

Rs 100 Cr budget

The music department is helmed by B. Ajaneesh Loknath, who gained immense popularity for his pulsating background scores in Kantara and Hanu Man. The ambitious project is being bankrolled by Hanu Man producers K. Niranjan Reddy and Chaitanya Reddy under the Primeshow Entertainment banner.

The film has Aishwarya Lekshmi playing the female lead.

With a staggering budget of Rs. 100 crores, “Sambarala Yetigattu” is set to be one of the biggest PAN-India films in the making.

Slated for a worldwide theatrical release on September 25, 2025, the film will be released in five major languages—Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam.
