Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor is teaming up with filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani for Sanjay Dutt biopic. People are curious about the title of the movie and can't wait to witness the teaser which is coming out on April 24, 2018, in the morning.

During a media interaction with a media source, Rajkumar was questioned if Dutt biopic will make the return of Ranbir, the superstar. To which he specified, "He was always there, he never went away. He is a fantastic actor. I Ioved working with him. I would like to work with him again."

When questioned if Sanjay has seen the movie, Hirani told, "He has seen some scenes but not the entire film. But he has seen many scenes, the teaser of the film. We are working on it. When it is completely ready he would be the first person to see it. He is surprised and shocked that a film is made on his life. He has to absorb that."

Ranbir Kapoor is a new Mr Perfectionist for Sanjay Dutt biopic!

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor's much-anticipated movie Sanjay Dutt biopic is all set to hit the cinemas in March 2018.

As per news in a daily, Ranbir wants to make some changes in the film and has requested the director Rajkumar Hirani to reshoot a few of the scenes. Speaking about it, a source specified to the tabloid, "Ranbir knows this will be his big ticket film. So he wants everything to be just perfect. Apparently, Ranbir wants to do even better than he already has. That’s about it."

Although, exhibitors who viewed a few rushes of the movie are enthralled with it. When an exhibitor was enquired about the same, he told, "The Sanjay Dutt biopic might change the whole game for Ranbir. They have just shown us a few scenes and a song and Ranbir is unbelievable."

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. 

Rajkumar Hirani to play Subhash Ghai in Sanjay Dutt's biopic?

Sanjay Dutt's biopic has been in news ever since Rajkumar Hirani has pronounced the project. It took a lot of people by surprise that a biopic has been made on Sanjay Dutt as he is still alive and getting his life on screen wouldn't have been a cakewalk.

Now, there is one thing that has grabbed headlines - Rajkumar will seemingly be stepping into the shoes of Subhash Ghai for the biopic. A source said a famous tabloid, “Hirani will play the role of director Subhash Ghai, whose films Dutt has been a part of, most notably among them being Khalnayak. Hirani’s character will approach Ranbir (Dutt) to make a biopic on him and joke about it in the film though it later turned out to be a reality!"

For the role of Sanjay Dutt, Ranbir Kapoor has been roped in by the director. His transformation into Dutt has been loved by the audiences. From his walking style to that hunchback, Ranbir totally transformed himself just like Sanjay Dutt.

In an interview lately, when Ranbir was questioned about the film, he told, "I am really keeping my fingers crossed for Sanjay Dutt biopic, it was an altogether different experience shooting for the film. I can't imagine and believe how much can a man go through hell in one life. He has paid for his deeds, made mistakes and got everything in this life. While filming there were times when I would observe him a lot, talk and walk like him but then I started to distance myself from him. After the image and look of Sanjay Dutt was released it was appreciated, but the role that I am portraying is not an act. I hope everyone likes it."

Now no clash between Ranbir and Salman due to distributors!

Evergreen actor Ranbir Kapoor has always enthralled us with the dedication he has put in his projects, be it Tamasha or Barfi. Now, he has got our attention with his dedication for Sanjay Dutt's biopic. Previously, Dutt's biopic was to release this year and now has been pushed to March 2018. If the movie would have released this year, we would have had the biggest clash of 2017 - Ranbir Kapoor's Sanjay Dutt's biopic v/s Salman Khan's Tiger Zinda Hai.

Clarifying the entire scenario, a trade source said a famous tabloid, “Vidhu Vinod Chopra is mounting this film on a huge scale and this might be the film Ranbir has been wanting for so long. Hirani can hardly go wrong with content, and is the most bankable director in the industry, so it would have been a close match but the distributors and exhibitors asked the producers to delay the film’s release.”

The source confirmed, “The exhibitors weren’t willing to pay more than INR 70-80 crore for the film because if the clash had happened, the films would have suffered. Also, Salman’s film would have had an advantage when it comes to the division of screens. TZH would have still done more than INR 200 crore business, but Ranbir’s film would have done maximum INR 150 crore, even if the content was terrific.”

“The Dutt biopic is a huge film, and will definitely do crazy numbers. But that’s only when it doesn’t clash with a superstar’s film, especially Salman’s. So the distributors agreed to pay them INR 110 crore for the theatrical rights, on the condition that the film was pushed to a later date. Now, it has a solo release on March 30,” the source further added.

Speaking about it, a source close to the movie specified to the tabloid, "The song hasn't been shot yet. They have only been rehearsing because the idea is to complete the scenes first."

The Sanjay Dutt biopic is helmed by Rajkumar Hirani and also stars Paresh Rawal, Manisha Koirala,Sonam Kapoor, Dia Mirza, Anushka Sharma, Vicky Kaushal and Karishma Tanna in pivotal roles. The film is scheduled for a Christmas 2017 release and will be clashing with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif's Tiger Zinda Hai directed by Ali Abbas Zafar.

Now, as per a report in a famous tabloid, Raju who was continuously in hunt for an actor to play Sanjay's wife Maanayata Dutt has finally found someone. But, she is apparently not an A-lister but an unknown actress who is Maanayata's look alike. 

"She is an unknown actress, but she looks exactly like Maana, so Hirani decided to go ahead with her,” a source was quoted telling. 

Speaking about Ranbir's look for the film, Dutt's spokesperson disclosed to a famous tabloid that Sanjay was taken aback when he saw the pictures that were doing the rounds on the Internet. "The resemblance is uncanny and Sanjay couldn’t stop staring at them,” he told.

That’s when the actor learnt about the photos. On seeing them, he was stunned at the similarities that filmmaker Raju Hirani and Ranbir Kapoor had worked upon. He has absolutely loved it."

Whereas Ranbir while talking about his Dutt look had told, "As you can see, I’m in the look of Sanjay Dutt and we have shot for more than half of the film. It feels proud that I’m part of his biopic and I’m very thankful to Vinod Sir (Vidhu Vinod Chopra) and Sanjay (Dutt) sir specially for it."

Sanjay Dutt's topic has become redundant, reveals Madhuri Dixit!

Ranbir Kapoor is presently busy shooting for the Sanjay Dutt biopic. The film is being helmed by Rajkumar Hirani and also stars Manisha Koirala, Paresh Rawal, Anushka Sharma and Sonam Kapoor in key roles.

Fascinatingly, as per to a daily, though initially, news suggested that Sonam Kapoor will play Madhuri Dixit's role in the movie, reports later surfaced that her role is an amalgamation of Sanjay's love interests from the early 90s.

Ever since the news of Madhuri Dixit's reference being included in the movie came out, there were conjectures that Madhuri made calls to the makers, to remove her mention from the biopic.

When Madhuri was questioned about it by a daily, she ridiculed the reports and told, "For where I am today, this [the topic of Dutt] has become redundant. Life has come a long way since then. I don't know where these reports are coming from. In any case, it doesn't make a difference to me."

On the film front, Madhuri was last seen in Dedh Ishqiya and Gulaab Gang back in 2014. Quiz her when she will make a comeback on the big screen and the pretty actress smiles and says "soon".

Probe Madhuri if she thinks Bollywood has changed over the years and she agrees and told, "I worked hard and gave my best. I was fortunate to have worked with someone like Saroj ji (Saroj Khan, choreographer). Our pact was to make every dance look unique and not repetitive. Now, movie making is a different ball game. Commercial and art films belong in the same universe. It's all about the right story, budget and target audience. I wish things were planned before. It would have made our jobs easier."

Ranbir Kapoor is unbelievable for Sanjay Dutt!

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor has been preparing hard and shooting extensively for Rajkumar Hirani's Sanjay Dutt biopic. 

Lately, we got our hands on pictures from the sets of the movie which blew our mind. In the pictures gone viral, Ranbir is seen striking an uncanny similarity with Dutt's latest look.

Speaking about Dutt's reaction on Ranbir's look, a source specified to a famous tabloid, "On seeing Ranbir's pictures, Sanjay was absolutely amazed. The idea of the biopic being made was a thought that was being talked about. But now that the pictures have surfaced on the internet, the reality of the movie being made and taking shape, in order to take his story to the audience, is seeping in. He is getting anxious as to how people will react to the story."

Did Ranbir get the mannerisms right? To which Sanjay told, "It is really amazing. Ranbir's pretty much there and it's unbelievable what he’s doing. I feel Ranbir's one of the best actors we have, and to top that, there's Raju Hirani."

Speaking about his look, Ranbir had previously told, "As you can see, I’m in the look of Sanjay Dutt and we have shot for more than half of the film. It feels proud that I’m part of his biopic and I’m very thankful to Vinod Sir (Vidhu Vinod Chopra) and Sanjay (Dutt) sir especially for it."

The untitled movie also features Sonam Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Dia Mirza, Manisha Koirala, Karishma Tanna, Paresh Rawal in pivotal roles. The movie is expected to release Christmas this year.

Now, we came across few photos of Ranbir from the sets of Dutt biopic. What's cute about those pictures is that Ranbir is seen playing around and posing with two kids, who play his on-screen son and daughter. The photos are too cute for words and we are loving the companionship between the Kapoor lad and the little munchkins.

While in one pic, he is holding the little girl in his arms and posing, in the other photo, one kid is sitting on his lap whereas the little girl is seen hugging him and posing. Aren't they looking absolutely cute?!

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor, who is reenacting Sanjay Dutt in a Hindi biopic on the controversial actor's life, looks heavier than usual these days. He tells he has never before put on so much weight.

I have never put on so much weight before and now plans to reduce some weight for the next phase of shooting," Ranbir told at the launch of India's first HP Virtual Reality (VR) lounge at PVR ECX, Mall of India here on Monday.

The yet untitled movie, being directed by Rajkumar Hirani, would portray seven different phases of Sanjay Dutt's life, starting from when he was all of 22.

"It's amazing to be working with a director like Rajkumar Hirani," Ranbir, who looked elegant in a gray suit and sky blue shirt, told at the event.

Replying to question on how emerging technologies like virtual reality may impact movie-going experience, the "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" actor said that although he fears increased use of gadgets might take audiences away from cinemas, movies with good content would continue to do well at theatres.

The VR lounge at PVR ECX will allow movie-goers to experience a new dimension of entertainment while they wait for their film to begin.

It will let customers explore a whole new library of fascinating and adventurous immersive and interactive content curated from various genres like drama, fiction, science fiction, horror and action, among others.

"It is a mind-blowing experience to go through the VR experience. But being an actor, I fear that it might take away the audiences from movie theatres," he told.

Stating the good run of Varun Dhawan-starrer "Badrinath Ki Dulhania" at the box office, Ranbir told he continues to believe that "content is king".

Without discarding the importance of technology in our lives, he said that it is also important to take time out for our fellow human beings.

"Please don't get consumed by electronics," he further added.

How easy or difficult is it to represent a real-life character on the big screen?

"I think for an actor, the work is only as difficult as a written material. With the team so sound and with such a wonderful environment out there, you feel nothing but to put your best foot forward," Dia told.

"I would like to believe that whether it is playing a real-life character or fictional character, the idea is to understand what you are doing and the purpose of your presence should matter."

"What you need to do is to take the story forward... That should matter the most," further added the actress, who has worked with Sanjay in movies like "Parineeta" and "Lage Raho Munna Bhai"

It’s emotional, it’s funny, it’s sad, it’s bittersweet. The youth have a lot to learn from his mistakes. Sanjay’s lived his life. He owned up to his mistakes, he’s paid the price for it. He’s been through much… his mother (the late Nargis Dutt) passing away just before the premiere of his film, drug abuse, being labelled a terrorist, his failed marriages, the grind of punishment... We’re not trying to project Sanjay Dutt in any way, it’s not a propaganda film."
