The teaser of the highly awaited film, the Dutt biopic, now titled Sanju, is all set to come out today. It is one of the most awaited and anticipated films primarily because this is the first time Ranbir Kapoor will step into the shoes of Sanjay Dutt. The Dutt biopic is a film that all Ranbir fans are eagerly waiting for. He is one actor who puts his blood and sweat in every character her portrays onscreen and the world knows how much of an effort he has put in to play his part in the biopic.
In a recent interview, Ranbir talked about his experience while essaying the character of Sanjay Dutt. He revealed, "I am really keeping my fingers crossed for Sanjay Dutt biopic, it was an altogether different experience shooting for the film. I can't imagine and believe how much can a man go through hell in one life. He has paid for his deeds, made mistakes and got everything in this life. While filming there were times when I would observe him a lot, talk and walk like him but then I started to distance myself from him. After the image and look of Sanjay Dutt was released it was appreciated, but the role that I am portraying is not an act. I hope everyone likes it."
Ranbir Kapoor's transformation
Ranbir Kapoor's unbelievable physical transformation to portray Baba is applause worthy. Ranbir will be seen in 6 different looks tracing the life of Sanjay Dutt. Kapoor surprised the audience with the striking resemblance he achieved to look the part.
The struggles he went through
Sanjay Dutt's life has been a rather eventful one. He has fallen prey to innumerous controversies, one of the most popular ones including his jail term.
Glimpses of his personal life
Dutt lost his first wife Richa Sharma as she was suffering from brain tumour. It goes without saying that he was madly in love with her and her death left a huge void in his life. After Richa Sharma, Sanjay married twice- Rhea Pillai and Manyata Dutt. While his marriage with Rhea didn't last for long either, he is now successfully married to Manyata and has two kids with her – son Shahraan and daughter Iqra. It would be interesting to see the emotional ordeal that he went through while going through a tough phase in his personal life.
Early life with parents
We all know that Sanju baba shared a special equation with his parents - Nargis and Sunil Dutt. While the actor lost his mother a few days before his debut released, his father had died of a heart attack on May 25, 2005. Let's see if the biopic throws light on the bond he shared with his parents who were his only support system when he started his career in Bollywood.
Salman Khan
Salman's equation with Sanjay has been a tumultuous one. We wonder if we will get to see Salman playing a cameo in the Dutt biopic!
Anyway, Rajkumar Hirani's biopic on Sanjay Dutt is scheduled to release on June 29 this year.
