Rajkumar Hirani's 'Sanju' has been the talk of the town eversince the reports of Ranbir Kapoor starring in Sanjay Dutt's biopic first hit the newsrooms. And now that the much-anticipated film has got released, the audience is busy connecting the dots. From trying to find out more about Sanjay's real-life Gujarati friend on Google, watching old videos of Sanjay coming out of jail to reading anecdotes about his life; the film has managed to revive people's interest in Sanjay's life and how.
One of the many things that the audience was looking forward to watching in the film was the part which dealt with Sanjay Dutt's involvement in the 1993 Bombay blasts. We got to see the scenes from his interrogation, his arrest, his time in the prison and even the controversial toilet over flowing-scene but the film didn't show us the peace march that Bollywood celebrities had carried out back in 1993 to show their solidarity towards one of their favourite stars.
Top film celebrities, including the likes of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Raveena Tondon, Asha Parekh, Anupam Kher, Subhash Ghai along with some hundred junior film artists had gathered on the streets in 1993 for a peace march. In the photographs, that are now going viral, they all can be seen holding black and white posters that read, 'SANJU - WE ARE WITH U.' Unfortunately, the historic moment finds no mention in Hirani's film.
Veteran actor and Ranbir Kapoor's father Rishi Kapoor recently took to Twitter to share the picture. He captioned it, "Thank you! "These people been promoting the film ever since!"

How we wish this real-life scene could have made it to his biopic.
