Naam: The film Kumar Gaurav made for buddy Sanjay Dutt " Even though it was a two-hero project, Rajendra Kumar knew that the audience's sympathies would eventually swing from Kumar Gaurav's character Ravi to Sanju's bad boy Vicky, " Sanjay Dutt's career got off to a Rocky start in '81. Following a battle with drugs and a series of flops, it had hit a dead end five years later. In these testing times, his buddy who became his brother-in-law, Kumar Gaurav, not only stood by him but was determined to make a film that would bring him back into the race. This film was Naam. The idea of two half-brothers came from Mahesh Bhatt, who during his growing up years was haunted by the ghost of his own illegitimacy. He sketched out the story of Ravi and Vicky to the two young actors and instantly, impulsively, Kumar Gaurav decided to turn it into a film under his banner.

Star (1982) Director: Vinod Pande  Music: Biddu; Lyrics: Indeevar/Amit Khanna  Year: 1982  Running Time: 132 minutes If you are a fan of Disco Dancer (and who isn't!) you might want to check out this film starring Kumar Gaurav and Rati Agnihotri. Disco Dancer started a disco craze in India (some five years after the release of Saturday Night Fever in the U.S.) and a few other disco related films naturally followed on its white leather patent dancing heels. Star was made in the same year as Disco Dancer - 1982 - and though it is reasonably fun, it is lacking the unintentional lunacy and over saturated cheese of Disco Dancer. Disco Dancer reached such sublime heights of bad fashion, bad dance steps and bad dialogue that it has reached cult status – and also because it is so much darn fun! Star doesn’t have quite the same ambitions and so has less distance to fall and it also hasn’t aged quite as deliriously badly as Disco Dancer. It still has its campy pleasures nonethel

Kumar Gaurav on the disjointed Dutt clan.  The rift between Sanjay Dutt and his sisters, Namrata and Priya , is common knowledge. And now it's been told that it was Sanju's decision to join the Samajwadi party that cost him his relationship with sisters. Priya , an active congress member, wanted Sanju to carry forward the legacy of being a Congress member. Their late father Sunil Dutt was a Congress member. This caused the already strained relationship to break.  Till now Manyata was blamed as the reason for disharmony among the Dutts. A source close to the Dutts elaborated, "It was Sanjay's decision to join SP that did not go down well with his sisters, particularly Priya.
