New Delhi: Bollywood    actor Sanjay Dutt nicknamed Munna  Bhai, convicted in an arms case related to the 1993 Mumbai blasts will  have  to  surrender by Thursday  as  ordered   earlier  by  the  Supreme Court.

The  appeals  filed  by  two  film  producers  were  dismissed by  the  Supreme  Court today. They  had asked for   more  time  for  the  actor  to  surrender  so  that  he  could  complete  two  of  his  under-production  films. The  court  said any plea for further    extension  of  time  will not be  entertained. 

Mr. Dutt  was convicted by a TADA court in 2006 for illegally possessing a 9 mm pistol and an AK-56 rifle which were part of a  delivery  of weapons and explosives brought to India for the coordinated serial blasts that killed 257 people and injured over 700 in 1993.
