Talking on a podcast, Sanjay shared that for the movie, Kaante, Amitabh Bachchan was not the first choice, and it was Sanjay Dutt who suggested to the director that he should narrate the story to Big B. Sanjay fixed a meeting between Amitabh Bachchan and the director at Jalsa. Talking about the same, director, Sanjay said:
“Sanjay Dutt had called up Amitji to ask if I could narrate the film and he fixed the meeting for two days later at 11 am. I was very nervous, at 10:55 am I pulled up outside Amitji’s house and two guards came running and said they would park the car.”

“Suddenly the door from behind opened, and this giant figure walked out in a white Pathaani, introducing himself. He took me to another room and said he would be back in five minutes. I knew Big B was into very hi-tech sound systems, so the speakers and gramophones he uses are like Rs 50-60 lakhs plus, I saw that equipment. On his desk there was this mug, it had 25 to 30 pens in it and they were all Mont Blanc’s designer editions.”
