Considering his comeback vehicle, Bhoomi, proved to be a damp squib, one would have assumed that Sanjay Dutt would be up and about for his next, Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster 3. Surprisingly, the actor gave the promotional activities for Tigmanshu Dhulia's action thriller a miss. With two days to go before the movie hits screens, the rest of the cast - including Chitrangda Singh, Jimmy Sheirgill and Mahie Gill - have been on a promotional blitzkrieg. However, Dutt has been stationed in Lucknow, shooting for Prassthanam instead.

The film's producer Rahul Mittra says, "Sanju has a busy schedule. He has been shooting back-to-back - first Torbaaz and now, Prassthanam. He also fell sick during the Lucknow leg of Prassthanam shoot. So he had to put in more time to compensate for the days lost."
