But instead of accepting the inheritance, Dutt made a quiet, powerful decision. "I gave it back to her family," he said. No hesitation, no fanfare—just a simple, firm response that left many surprised. The news reports claimed that his lawyer confirmed that the actor didn't know Nisha personally and had no intention of claiming the assets, choosing instead to ensure they returned to her family, even if legal processes were needed.
Over the years, Sanjay Dutt has built a fiercely loyal fan base that's stood by him through every twist in his journey. From his breakout debut in Rocky to unforgettable performances in Naam, Khal Nayak, Vaastav, and Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., he's carved out a legacy as one of Bollywood's most enduring stars. Dutt's calendar remains packed with upcoming films, including the Telugu sequel Akhanda 2, Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar starring Ranveer Singh, Prabhas' The RajaSaab, and the Kannada action film KD – The Devil, among others.

Su From So Karnataka Box Office 2nd Saturday Update: Kannada blockbuster registers biggest day of its run; Set for Rs 60 crore plus finish
Su From So, directed by JP Thuminad and starring Raj B Shetty is on a historic run at the Karnataka box office. The movie is having a kind of run that very few movies enjoy. After an excellent first week of Rs 20.80 crore gross, the movie added Rs 3.80 crore on its second Friday. The second Friday collections were not just higher than the first Friday collections, but they were almost four times the day 1 number. On second Saturday, the estimates for Su From So are an incredible Rs 5.50 crore. The Day Wise Karnataka Gross Collections Of Su From So Are As Under Day Karnataka Gross Collections Week 1 Rs 20.80 crore 2nd Friday Rs 3.80 crore 2nd Saturday Rs 5.50 crore (est) Total Rs 30.10 crore gross in 9 days Su From So's 2nd Weekend In Karnataka Will Be Twice As Big As Its First A Rs 15 crore second weekend is on the cards, and that would mean that the second weekend collections will be more than double of the first weekend collections. The second week will certainly be higher than the first week. The early projections are that Su From So will end up with a lifetime of Rs 60 - 70 crore. For a movie to double its first week numbers is already considered to be excellent, but for it to do three times or more is just phenomenal. Su From So Is Performing Well Despite Strong Local Competition One must not forget that Su From So is playing in theatres when multiple Indian movies are performing well. Saiyaara, Mahavatar Narsimha, Thalaiva Thalaivi and Kingdom are already doing well and Son Of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 have also taken up screens. The future of Indian cinema looks bright with majority audiences preferring content over stars. The films that have recently done well are the films with no big cast. One of them is an animated film that already has a limited market in a country like India. Su From So In Theatres

Mahavatar Narsimha, directed by Ashwin Kumar, and produced by Hombale films is creating history at the box office everyday, especially for the Hindi version. After netting Rs 29 crore in its first week in Hindi, the movie added Rs 5 crore on 2nd Friday. On 2nd Saturday, the movie registered the biggest day of its run, collecting Rs 11 crore. These are unheard numbers for an animated movie. Mahavatar Narsimha has opened the floodgates for animated movies in India, and that too in a big way.

Hombale Films Is Set To Gain Massively Due To The Success Of Their First Film From Mahavatar Cinematic Universe The biggest beneficiary of Mahavatar Narsimha's success is obviously Hombale films.

The box office is delivering surprises upon surprises every week. First Saiyaara and now Mahavatar Narsimha; the audiences are turning up in hordes to support the cinema that they resonate with. On the other hand, movies like Son Of Sardaar 2 are facing a difficult time. Even The Fantastic Four: First Steps has flopped in India due to the Mahavatar Narsimha wave.
