Suniel Shetty and Sanjay Dutt have been seen in films like Kaante (2002), Dus (2005) and Shootout At Lokhandwala (2007). Now, after a gap of 12 years, they are coming together for the movie Doghouse directed by Samir Karnik, who had earlier helmed Yamla Pagla Deewana. The two actors were last seen sharing screen space in the film No Problem (2010).

Excited to work with Sanjay again, Suniel says, “I am happy that Baba and I are teaming up for a film after so many years. We are playing our age in this film, and I must say the script is brilliant. The audience has seen us portraying these macho characters together on screen, but this time around, we are bringing comedy to the table.”

Known to be good friends, Suniel and Sanjay might not have worked together for years, but personally, they share a great bond. “We share a superb equation. I think it (the film) is a take on our personal relationship, too. We get along well and you will see us that way — cool and casual — on-screen, too,” says Suniel.

In the last few years, Suniel has been seen in special appearances in Hindi films and has also dabbled in South cinema. He says, “I took a sabbatical for a long time. Then, I tested the waters by doing cameos and South films. But I am glad that I did that. Today, cinema is being appreciated across borders. Language doesn’t matter anymore, what matters is the content. Now, fortunately, actors are being offered subjects keeping their maturity and talent in mind, and I am damn excited about it.”
