New Delhi:
After Bhoomi, actor Sanjay Dutt has collaborated yet again with filmmaker Omung Kumar for The Good Maharaja, his next film. The first poster of the film, featuring Sanjay Dutt, was unveiled recently.

"We have photographs of the Maharaja for reference. We will take certain creative liberties but are trying to keep things as authentic as possible. Sanjay looks regal and it was his idea to do this role and I wanted to direct it because it's a superb story," mid-day quoted Omung Kumar as saying.
