Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt on Saturday said that he was not being favoured by anyone for being a celebrity and added that every prisoner gets a furlough of a month after completing a year in jail.

"Every prisoner gets furlough of a month in a year, it was given lawfully, I have not been favoured. Since 22 years, I am abiding by the law, I have been ordered to surrender and I am going for it," said Dutt.

Dutt will be going back to Yerawada Jail in Pune after the completion of his two weeks furlough. The Yerwada Jail authorities have rejected his plea for extending his furlough.
