Sanjay Gupta (born 23 October 1969) is a Bollywood writer-director. He is known for films such as Aatish: Feel the Fire (1994) and Kaante (2002),[1] and that he has been involved in a number of controversies.[2]
Early life
He completed his studies at Palm Beach School at Nepean Sea Road and Sydenham College at Churchgate in Mumbai.
Career
Gupta started his career with Aatish: Feel the Fire. Later he went to write and direct films including Ram Shastra, Khauff and Jung. The filming of Jung (2000), lasted over two years.[2] Gupta and producer Satish Tandon had a dispute about the release of the film, with Tandon pushing for a release while Gupta wanted Sanjay Dutt to re-dub some lines, which Dutt was refusing to do.[2]
While filming Kaante in the Los Angeles in 2001, the events of the 9/11 attack forced the film to relocate planned scenes from several areas that were then considered sensitive.[1] Commentators noted a similarity in Kaante to Quentin Tarantino's film Reservoir Dogs. Gupta says that he was inspired by a number of other films as well, including The Asphalt Jungle, The Killing, and the film that inspired Reservoir Dogs, City On Fire.[1]
Gupta's Zinda (2006) has been described as a unofficial remake of the Korean film Oldboy[3][4]
He also produced the films Shootout at Lokhandwala (2007), Dus Kahaniyaan, and directed and co-produced Shootout at Wadala the sequel to Shootout at Lokhandwala.
