Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt has been seen cruising Mumbai streets in a Tesla Cybertruck, a rare electric pickup imported from abroad. Videos of the sighting have gone viral on social media, highlighting the vehicle's futuristic design amid Dutt's recent film successes. The Cybertruck, not yet officially available in India, adds to Dutt's collection of luxury vehicles.
On January 16, 2026, paparazzi and social media users captured Bollywood veteran Sanjay Dutt driving a Tesla Cybertruck through Mumbai's busy lanes. The angular, stainless-steel electric pickup, imported likely from Dubai under a Carnet permit for temporary use, turned heads with its bold design and foreign registration plates. Videos shared by accounts like Viral Bhayani and Voompla amassed millions of views, showing Dutt casually behind the wheel and the vehicle parked outside his residence.
The Cybertruck's price varies in reports, with estimates around Rs 50 lakh to Rs 80 lakh in India due to import costs, compared to its US starting price of about $80,000 (roughly Rs 67 lakh ex-showroom). It boasts impressive specs: acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.6 to 2.7 seconds, power output of 857 PS and 1,170 Nm torque in higher variants, and a range exceeding 500 km on a full charge. Features include steer-by-wire technology, rear-wheel steering, large touchscreens, and high towing capacity, though some note challenges like limited visibility and fingerprint-prone surfaces.
This sighting coincides with Dutt's professional highs. He recently appeared in Prabhas-starrer 'The Raja Saab,' released on January 9, 2026, alongside Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Boman Irani, and Zarina Wahab. Dutt is also celebrating the box-office success of 'Dhurandhar,' led by Ranveer Singh. Known for his affinity for luxury rides like Range Rover Autobiography and Land Rover Defender, the Cybertruck fits Dutt's taste for powerful, unconventional vehicles. Tesla has no official launch plans for the model in India, making such imports a novelty on local roads.
