The two actors were seen for the last time together in ‘Shootout At Lokhandwala’ where Sanjay played the role of a cop and Vivek characterized a criminal. The story of their roles hasn’t change in Zilla Ghaziabad where the two men will be seen in their respective roles.

Sanjay has confirmed his role for the film as a cop and source close to Vivek too has said that he is doing the film.

Their differences came to light when Dutt started dating Maanyata. Rumours say that at that time Vivek too has tried to woo the lady with flowers and CDs – it seems he has a knack of getting in between an affairs. But as soon as Vivek heard of Maanyata dating Sanju Baba, he backed off but reports say he did pass some comments about the woman Sanju was dating. This was enough for Dutt to cut off all ties.

Finally Dutt told Vivek at Zayed Khan’s party not to meddle in his affair, he said coldly, “Don’t mess around with me!”

Since then Vivek tried everything he could to get close to Sanjay but without hope and finally Zilla Ghaziabad has brought them together for a face off!!

The Badshah of Bulandshahr has its own notorious ways to strike on the criminals. His unorthodox method comprises of making criminals to shoot other criminals, without getting his hands dirty in the act.

Dutt, who has played the role of a cop often in films like Shootout At Lokhandwala, Kurukshetra and Mission Kashmir is all geared up to play the real life character in his next Zilla Ghaziabad.

The film’s producer Vinod Bachchan told Mumbai Mirror, “Sanjay Dutt is very excited about the character and his unorthodox ways of dealing with criminals. It is true that Thakur Pritam Singh would line up criminals and have them shot by criminals. We aren’t sparing any of the violent details.”

The most interesting fact which will give Sanjay Dutt a little too much to think about it is that during his tenure, Pritam Singh was not fond of him and rumours take us to this that the cop would go crazy when local boys would copy Dutt. Vinod Bachchan laughed, “That’s true. When Khal Nayak released in Bulandshahr, local boys grew their hair to shoulder-length like Sanjay. Pritam Singh had lined them up and forced them to have a haircut.”

However, the producer of the film admits that there are similarities between Dabangg and Zilla Ghaziabad. “But our film will go far beyond Dabangg in conveying the brutality of life. Chulbul Pandey was a fictional character, but Pritam Singh is real,” he added.
