Sanjay Dutt has faced a lot of ups and downs in his life, but the last few years were perhaps the most difficult, as he was serving his sentence in the Yerawada central jail for the possession of illegal arms in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case.

Sanjay Dutt will be released from jail on February 25, 2016, ie, on Thursday. Needless to say, his family and industry friends are very happy with the news. But it is not just his close friends who are ecstatic with the news. Sanjay Dutt’s fans too are on cloud nine to see that the actor will finally be released after serving his time in the jail.

As part of the celebrations for his release, a Mumbai-based restaurateur has decided to offer a special culinary delight, which he is calling Chicken Sanju Baba, free of cost to all fans. Mughlai eatery Noor Mohammadi Hotel will serve the signature chicken recipe to all fans of Sanju Baba, which is said to be created by Sanjay Dutt himself and gifted to the owner of the restaurant – Khalid Hakim.

The owner – Hakim – shared that Dutt was a regular at the restaurant since 1986 and used to gorge on the non-vegetarian delicacies served there. In 2010, Sanjay Dutt created a special gravy-based chicken dish and gifted the recipe to the owner, with a written consent that he could serve it to all guests at the restaurant.

On the day when Sanjay Dutt will walk out of jail, the restaurant will serve Chicken Sanju Baba to all guests free of cost from noon till midnight.

Legendary painter M Husain was also a regular at the same restaurant and had also created a painting for the owner Hakim, which is, of course, a centre of attraction at the restaurant!
