Background on Cancer Diagnosis and Recovery
Dutt was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer in August 2020 after experiencing severe breathlessness and chest discomfort. Initial medical examinations in Mumbai revealed a significant fluid buildup in his lungs, which subsequently led to the diagnosis.
Following his diagnosis, the actor underwent rigorous medical therapy, including precision oncology and targeted treatments. In October 2020, just months after sharing the news of his illness publicly, Dutt announced that he had successfully beaten the disease and was in full remission.
Focus on Health, Fitness, and Film Projects
Since his recovery, the actor has maintained a strict emphasis on his health and respiratory fitness. Dutt has frequently spoken about following a disciplined daily workout routine designed specifically to maintain his lung capacity and overall physical strength. ‘Aakhri Sawal’ Trailer: Film Is for India’s Youth and Every Citizen, Says Sanjay Dutt (Watch Video).

He remains actively involved in multiple high-profile projects scheduled for release.
