Sanjay offered for the peace of the souls of his departed parents, Sunil Dutt and Nargis, at the temple on Thursday.
Pind daan is a Hindu ceremony that involves paying homage to the deceased members of the family. It’s performed by relatives of the deceased at three holy sites in Gaya: the Phalgu River, Vishnupad Temple, and Akshay Vat Tree. The ritual can take about two hours and can be completed in one day.
Sanjay on the work front
On the work front, Sanjay Dutt will be next seen in the sci-fi horror comedy film ‘The Virgin Tree’. The movie also stars Sunny Singh, Mouni Roy, and Palak Tiwari in the lead roles. Sanjay revealed that he is pleased to back the film, as it is exactly what he was looking for. He finds this film ‘a perfect blend of comedy and horror, with the right balance of chills and thrills’. “I am so glad to have found a production partner in Deepak Mukut whose cinematic vision and ideals align with mine”, said Sanjay.
