After months of fervent anticipation, the teaser for Sanjay Dutt's biopic has finally been launched with the reveal of the title, Sanju. Ranbir Kapoor is playing the lead in the movie that is directed by Rajkumar Hirani. Sanju is produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, T-Series and Fox Star Studios. The movie is about the controversial life of Sanjay Dutt, right from his early drug phase to his many romances to his involvement in the 1993 Bombay Blasts to his jail sentence.
Just as the movie is all set to reveal something interesting about Sanjay Dutt's life, the teaser launch has also something very interesting about reveal about the actor's life. Like did you know former US president Barack Obama knew Sanjay Dutt that too by his most popular character.
Abhijat Joshi, who has been Rajkumar Hirani's frequent writing collaborator, informed the media during the launch that Dutt has casually told him about how Obama knows him as Munnabhai! Don't believe us? Check out the video below -

We do wonder if this trivia will be added in the movie. Interestingly, there was a third movie in the Munnabhai franchise that was about Sanjay Dutt's character going to America to teach the President about Gandhigiri. However, the movie was shelved because the makers felt the premise was similar to that of Shah Rukh Khan's My Name is Khan.
Coming back to Sanju, the movie also stars Anushka Sharma, Sonam Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Jim Sarbh, Paresh Rawal and Manisha Koirala. Sanju is scheduled to release in India on June 29.
