Tentatively titled, 'Dutt', Sanjay Dutt's biopic is indeed one of the most eagerly-awaited films of 2017. Being helmed by Rajkumar Hirani, 'Dutt' will see Ranbir Kapoor step into Sanjay's shoes for the film.
Talking about the biopic to PTI, Sanjay's sister, Priya Dutt at a Nargis Dutt foundation event said, "I always felt that if ever a film is made on Sanjay Dutt there’s no one other than Raju Hirani. I know it is in safe hands.”
“I was not very much involved in the scripting process as the film is about Sanjay. But whenever the director would need any help, I would gladly give him the required details,” the politician added further.
The 'Dutt' biopic will see Ranbir Kapoor undergo a severe body transformation for the role. The actor has following Sanjay closely to get the mannerisms correct and has gained 13 kgs to beef up for the part. Starring Anushka Sharma, Sonam Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Dia Mirza and Vicky Kaushal in pivotal roles, the biopic is all set to release on Christmas 2017.
