Dutt’s history with drug addiction is well-known. Due to his status and wealth, Dutt could afford a stint in an American rehab centre. Because not everybody has his access to wealth, Dutt plans to institute low-cost institute in India.
He told Mid-Day, “I could opt for (expensive de-addiction) treatment and rehab in America because my family could afford it. Not everyone can.”
A biopic on Dutt, directed by Rajkumar Hirani is in the works, with Ranbir Kapoor in the lead.
