Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, who was set to appear in Son of Sardaar 2, has been removed from the film following the rejection of his UK visa. Sanjay Dutt has now addressed the situation, labeling the decision as a 'mistake' and expressing confusion over why his visa was initially approved only to be later denied.

Sanjay Dutt expressed his frustration, saying, "I’m certain that the UK government made an error. They initially issued me a visa, and all payments and arrangements were completed in the UK. Yet, a month later, they canceled my visa. I provided all the necessary documents and complied with the requirements. If there were issues, why was the visa granted in the first place? It’s perplexing that it took a month to identify these problems."

He further remarked, “Honestly, who is even going to the UK right now? There are numerous riots occurring there, and the Indian government itself has advised against traveling to the UK. So, in that sense, I’m not missing out on much. However, the situation is unjust, and it needs to be corrected. I am a law-abiding citizen who respects and adheres to the laws of every country.”
