Sanjay Dutt wanted to play Sunil Dutt in his Biopic!
The versatile actor Ranbir Kapoor along with director Rajkumar Hirani has already started working on their next – a Biopic on Bollywood superstar Sanjay Dutt. It is confirmed that the biopic will feature Paresh Rawal as Sunil Dutt’s but we get to hear Sanju Baba’s wish to play the role of his dad in his Biopic.
Sanju Baba was always very close to his dearest daddy Sunil Dutt and wanted to play the role of the most iconic character in the film. It seems that Sanjay Dutt didn’t want the attention to be divided between the real and reel Dutt, hence he decided against playing his own dad.
This Biopic has really made Sanju Baba work hard. He has given around 200 hours of recording as basic matter for the film. As we all know, Ranbir Kapoor will be portraying three phases of Sanjay Dutt‘s life for which he will be seen in three avatars – first with a beefy body, then a lean look from the 90’s and his third avatar focuses the drug rehab phase of Dutt’s life.
The shooting of the film has already begun and as part of the role, Ranbir has managed to gain 13 kgs of weight comprising of muscles and no fat to match the muscular looks of Sanju Baba.
This untitled biopic will be the first one to be made on a B-Town superstar.
