The 52-year-old, known for his macho man image, is also returning to his original love — action on the big screen —and hopes to widen his horizons by venturing into direction. “The experience of life, right from being involved in drugs, my mother’s death, the death of my (first) wife (Richa Sharma), and the jail episode... The problems I have gone through helped me in one way — I can now play any character comfortably because I have seen so much,” Sanjay says.
