Highlight the biggest selling point of the film -Ranbir Kapoor's transformation for the part, the poster gives a sneak peak into Ranbir as Sanju at different stages in his life.
The talented actor looks exactly like young Dutt when he debuted in 'Rocky' and even reminds us of Sanju in the role of 'Munnabhai' or even he stepped out of jail. Kapoor lad has undergone massive physical transformation for the part and it shows. From body language, to bulging biceps and even the hairdo, Ranbir looks strikingly similar to Sanjay Dutt . The poster hints at the film telling five important chapters from Dutt's life.
In an interview to DNA After Hrs's editor Meena Iyer, filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani had said that wanted a neutral title for the film. He said, "Actually, we thought of many titles. One of them was Aisa Hi Hoon. Anything you attach with a name in a biopic is like an adjective. Even if you say Aisa Hi Hoon or Sarphira, either you are glorifying him or attacking him. One thing all of us were clear about was that we wanted a neutral title. Dutt seemed a little harsh. Then I heard a gem from him. Apparently, Nargisji used to call him ‘Sanju’ with a lot of affection. We thought this is the most non-committal and neutral title, with no pre-conceived notions. "
Written and directed by Rajkumar Hirani, the film will also stars an ensemble cast in addition to Ranbir Kapoor which includes Anushka Sharma, Paresh Rawal, Sonam Kapoor, 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 29th June 2018.
