The teaser of the Sanjay Dutt biopic, Sanju, is out, and the Bollywood fans can't stop talking about raving about it. Ranbir Kapoor, especially has got a lion's share of the praise, with many going awe over how effortlessly he has managed to replicate Sanjay Dutt at various stages of his life. Sanju is directed by the hit-maker Rajkumar Hirani, known for making blockbusters like the Munnabhai series, 3 idiots and PK. And he continues to add his trademark humour even in a supposedly dark tale of an actor known for his various real-life controversies.
Now, as we watched and rewatched the teaser of Sanju quite a few times, one scene caught our attention. It moves very fast, so we had to pause to get a clear picture of what's happening. The scene shows Ranbir Kapoor as Sanjay Dutt hitting someone in the dark. On closer observation, that someone happened to be Jim Sarbh, who recently impressed us in Padmaavat, playing Khilji's wily gay lover.
Now certain publications like Pinkvilla and DNA has mentioned in the past that Jim Sarbh is playing Salman Khan in the film. Now Salman has been a very good friend of Sanjay Dutt, and both have starred in quite a few movies together like Saajan, Chal Mere Bhai, Yeh Hai Jalwaa, Son of Sardaar and even the unreleased Dus. If Jim Sarbh is really Salman Khan in the movie, then we wonder what the below scene is all about.
Interesting trivia, Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor don't see eye to eye over the fact that they both dated the same girl, Katrina Kaif, at various points of time.
On the other hand, a report in BollywoodLife quotes Jim Sarbh saying that he is not playing Salman in the movie. Whether he is telling the truth or just trying to blow dust in our eyes (at the behest of the makers) is something we have to wait and watch when Sanju comes out on June 29.
