Sanjay Dutt: 'I was the first guy in the industry to learn martial arts'

Fans of actors Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn might laud the two actors for introducing martial arts in the action sequences of Hindi films, but what many probably don't know is that it was our very own Sanju baba (Sanjay Dutt) who studied the art way back in 1979!

While talking about the Super Fight League that Dutt and Raj Kundra are coming up with, the deadly Dutt said, "What many don't know is that I was the first guy in the industry to learn martial arts in 1979. I learned kung fu for a period of nine and a half years and it was used to an extent in my first film Rocky. Because of this, I was always inclined towards martial arts as a sport, which is why I am a part of the Super Fight League."

Sanjay Dutt was last seen playing the menacing villain Kancha in revenge drama Agneepath, a role which earned him rave reviews.
