LONDON: A little bird, aka a big producer, let slip the other day that Sanjay Dutt is in the mood for a “maha-makeover”. He’s currently in London seeking facial surgery to remove the dark pouches under his eyes.

The cosmetic surgery, currently being undertaken in London, has apparently been recommended by Dutt’s pal Salman Khan.

Whispers a producer whose dates were postponed in the effort to create a wide window for Dutt to go under the knife far away from the madding crowds of Mumbai, “Mr Dutt has been planning to get his face done for a while. It was Salman who urged Mr Dutt to get the bulges under his eyes removed. Mr Dutt doesn’t believe in tampering with nature and has never done anything to enhance his youth. But his wife convinced him it was the right thing to do. The couple left for London soon after his 53rd birthday. So when Mr Dutt returns we’ll see him looking a lot fresher and younger.”

We hear the decision was taken so Dutt would look fit for his part in the next Munnabhai film.
