Ranbir Kapoor, who is currently shooting for the Sanjay Dutt biopic, recently revealed that Dutt has been extremely gracious in providing insights about his life story in an honest way for the biopic.
Talking about Sanjay Dutt's contribution to the film, Ranbir said, "He hasn’t been a hypocrite about it. So it’s not a propaganda film trying to portray him as God or something. We are trying to show a very human side of Sanjay Dutt, his perils, his downfall, his will to fight, his time in jail, terrorism charges, his drug phase, how he handled his mother’s death two days before the release of his debut film, his relationship with his father. These were human conflicts in his life."
When quizzed about doing the biopic, the actor did admit that it was a bit daunting initially. Ranbir explained, "He is such a relevant person even today. He is so much loved even today. He is controversial. But when you have Rajkumar Hirani as the director and Abhijat Joshi as the writer and the character like Sanjay Dutt, you are somewhere cushioned."
Despite getting the look right, Ranbir did admit that he is nervous about the biopic. “I don’t know if I have nailed it or not. I was very inspired. We have a few days left now for the film. It’s a very new me, so I am excited to see how the audience reacts. It should be out on March 30 next year."
There were also rumours that the team will recreate the iconic 'Khalnayak' track for the biopic but Ranbir rubbished the reports as rumours. Ranbir signed off saying, "We have not touched upon the ‘Khalnayak’ phase. This film doesn’t talk about Sanjay Dutt the hero, but Sanjay Dutt’s life. We have touched upon his few films like the first one ‘Rocky’ and ‘Munnabhai MBBS’."
