All eyes are on Rajkumar Hirani and Ranbir Kapoor's much-awaited Sanjay Dutt's biopic, titled Sanju. The teaser, which was released on Tuesday, has surprised everyone's expectations and risen the curiosity for the film to another level.
Now as promised, filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani shared a new poster of his upcoming film on Monday morning and we must say, Ranbir is a carbon copy of the Khalnayak actor when he was finally released from Pune’s Yerwada Jail in 2016. Featuring Ranbir as Sanjay in his 50s, Ranbir’s intriguing look and intense eyes perfectly encapsulates Sanjay’s persona in real life.
The filmmaker shared the poster and tweeted, “Ranbir as #Sanju! When he came out of Jail in 2016. Watch his complete story on June 29. #RanbirKapoor #RajkumarHiraniFilms @VVCFilms @foxstarhindi.”
In an interview to DNA After Hrs earlier, Rajkumar Hirani told us why he opted for Ranbir Kapoor. He said, "The first reason for choosing him is that he’s a fantastic actor. And the second reason is that he is at the perfect age. I needed an actor who could be 21 (years old) because that is where the film begins. That was the age when Sanju was shooting for Rocky and his drug phase started. And then we have Sanju when he came out of prison (around 56 years). So, we needed someone who could fit that transformation."
Sanju also stars Dia Mirza, Karishma Tanna, Manisha Koirala, Jim Sarbh, Vicky Kaushal and Boman Irani in pivotal roles.Produced by Vinod Chopra Films and Rajkumar Hirani Films in association with Fox star studios. Dutt Biopic is all set to be released on June 29, 2018.
