"I know Sanju (Sanjay) on a personal level and I'm delighted that he will finally return home to his family and friends on Thursday. We've been waiting eagerly for the day, and we have always been praying for his safety," said Manoj.

Manoj and Sanjay have worked together in films like Daud;, LOC Kargil and Dus Kahaniyaan.

"It's great news. I am very happy that he's returning. I'm a big fan of him and have grown up watching his films. He has respectfully completed his term. The mental pressure is also over now.
