It's not a propaganda film trying to portray him as God, reveals Ranbir on Dutt's biopic!


Actor Ranbir Kapoor has put his greatest efforts to Rajkumar Hirani's next which is based on Sanjay Dutt's life. In an interview with a famous agency, Ranbir told Dutt has been very gracious in providing insights about his life story in a truthful way.

"He hasn't been a hypocrite about it (his life). 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," Ranbir further added.

Ranbir mentioned that it was challenging for his portray Dutt and it was daunting at the earlier stage of shooting for the movie. "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," he said.

Speaking about getting the look right, Ranbir told, "Getting the look right is very superficial, it is easy as you have help from makeup and computer graphics. To show Sanjay Dutt as a human being, as a biopic only works when you show the human side of a person, and not the glories but the downfall as well (was not easy)."

"I don't know if I have nailed it or not (referring to the film). I was very inspired (doing this film). 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," he told.


"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, Munnabhai MBBS," he told and ended conversation.
