After a month and ten days in hospital, Shatrughan Sinha is finally going home. Actually he would has been home on Friday. However the Janmashthami festivities at the streets of Mumbai kept Shatruji's travel plans on hold. A disappointment for Shatruji's ally producer Pahlaj Nihalani who had made grand welcome-home plans for the now- fit-and-fine actor-politician.
Says Pahlaj, "Yes, he's coming home on Sunday. We're very excited to look him come home again. With Shatru I AM GOING back far. In an industry driven only by self interest, our friendship has lasted for 35 years. It didn't matter whether we interact or not, we remained friends even if we weren't working together."
For his latest film Avatar, Pahlaj Nihalani has decided to get his buddy to do a voiceover, something that Shatrughan Sinha regardless of his famous baritone hasn't ever done.
Says Pahlaj emotionally, "I CANNOT imagine creating a film without Shatru being part of it. I've something in mind for him in Avatar. It's something he hasn't ever done before. But first, let's get him home and provides him time to come again to his normal routine."
Adds Shatrughan Sinha's wife, Punam Sinha, "We were taking him home on Friday. But due to the crowded roads for Janmasthami we decided to stick back."
