"Wish you could see me as a free man. Love you... Miss you," the 58-year-old actor wrote. Sunil Dutt died on May 25, 2005, one year before Sanjay Dutt completed his jail term in connection with the 1993 Bombay blasts case. Sunil Dutt, one of the most sought-after actors of the Sixties and the Seventies, died of heart attack at 75 at his home in Bandra. Sunil Dutt has several critically acclaimed films to his credit, including Mujhe Jeene Do, Khandan, Yaadein (which he also directed), Milan and Mother India.

A biopic on Sanjay Dutt is all set to open in theatres next month, in which Paresh Rawal will play the role of Sunil Dutt. Recently, actor Aamir Khan revealed that he turned down the offer to play Sunil Dutt's role in the biopic, which features Ranbir Kapoor in lead role. "Dutt Saab's role is a fabulous role. There is so much about Sanju's relationship with his father, but Sanju's role is unbelievable. I told Raju that role had won my heart," said Aamir Khan.
