Videos of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt driving a Tesla Cybertruck on Mumbai roads have gone viral on social media, following the success of his recent film Dhurandhar. The vehicle, priced at around Rs 72 lakh in India based on its US cost of $80,000, appears to have been imported from Dubai under a temporary permit. This addition highlights Dutt's passion for luxury cars amid his ongoing film commitments.
Sanjay Dutt, known for his role as SP Chaudhary Aslam in the blockbuster Dhurandhar, was recently seen navigating Mumbai's streets in a Tesla Cybertruck, turning heads and sparking online buzz. The electric pickup truck, manufactured by Tesla since 2023, features a radical angular design with an ultra-hard stainless-steel exoskeleton, making it nearly bulletproof. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in under three seconds and includes innovations like a powered tonneau cover and integrated power outlets. Available in variants such as Long Range, All-Wheel Drive, and Cyberbeast, the Cybertruck is a rare sight in India, where Tesla has yet to announce official pricing or a launch.
The vehicle's left-hand driving gear and license plate suggest it was imported from Dubai, possibly under a Carnet permit that allows temporary use in India for up to six months without customs duties. In the US, it starts at around $80,000 (approximately Rs 72 lakh), though one report mentioned Rs 50 lakh—likely an approximation. Hollywood celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, Jay-Z, and Pharrell Williams also own the model.
Dutt, who resides in Dubai with his wife Maanayata and twins Shahraan and Iqra, frequently travels to Mumbai for work. His garage already boasts luxury vehicles including a Range Rover Autobiography, Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600, Land Rover Defender, Maybach S580, Rolls-Royce Ghost, Ferrari 599 GTB, and Audi R8. Born on July 29, 1959, the actor debuted in 1981 with Rocky and has appeared in 135 films across multiple languages.
On the professional front, Dutt recently featured in Prabhas' The Raja Saab and has Dhurandhar Part 2, Raja Shivaji, and the Kannada film KD: The Devil upcoming.
