The highly anticipated project directed by Apoorva Lakhia, also stars southern star Ram Charan Teja and Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra in the lead, who play the role of Vijay and Mala.
Sher Khan's role was made famous by veteran actor Pran in the Prakash Mehra directed film.
While Dutt will be seen as Sher Khan in the Hindi version of 'Zanjeer', actor Sonu Sood is on board to play the same role in the Telugu version of the film, which is being shot simultaneously.
Produced by Reliance Entertainment, Adai Mehra Productions and Flying Turtle Films, "Zanjeer" will hit theatres next year.
