Sanjay Dutt biopic to start next year

Rajkumar Hirani, the director of films like ‘Munnabhai’, ‘3 Idiots’ and ‘PK’ will begin shooting for his next film, tentatively titled ‘Dutt’, next year.

The film, produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Rajkumar Hirani and Sanjay Dutt, is said to be dealing with the positive side of Dutt’s life.

“He (Sanjay Dutt) is co-producing the film. The decision was taken recently. The work on the script is still going on” a source close to the film said.

Ranbir Kapoor will play Sanjay Dutt on-screen. The film is expected to release in 2017.

  • Going to be flop…Because I don’t think Ranbir can match sanjay dutt’s character…Hrithik is excellent in biopics…My bet on hrithik…

  • Well,if they r going to show just positive side of sanjay dutt then the movie shouldn’t be called biopic.

    Excited to see how rajkumar hirani will make this movie.

    Legendry directors lyk scorcese , speilberg hav excelled in every genre be it crime , drama , comedy, science fiction mystery or whatever.

    No indian director pushes the envelope the way they hav pushed. Not even yash chopra or raj kaoor or satyajit ray

    I desperately want to see an indian science fiction (not lyk koi mil gaya)

    I hope rajkumar hirani will try diff genre

  • Just positive side ?
    Indian audience want to knw the negative side of his life all the secrets which we dont knw ,just like bhaag milkha bhaag or Mary kom.

  • Not too much excited about this flick.He’s just a film actor who has been jailed for possession of arms.I doubt whether the movie would be intriguing enough to hold audience’s breath

  • No offense to other actor but a movie should be made on the biggest criminal of Bollywood i.e none other than Bhai.How he used to beat his then girlfriend,killed endangered animal,ran over innocent pavements and finally how he manipulated law and got bails using his criminal backgrounds.But I doubt whether it would get a proper release since it would be too dark.

  • Ranbir kapoor is most versatile Actor only Actor in Young generation jo koi bhi role kar sakta hai Says —->>> AMIR KHAN

  • Ranbir is not a good choice, doesn’t even look close to Sanju Baba, and his body doesn’t match at all, he is too lean. They should try for a new guy who is as intense as Sanju…

  • First Indian Actor of Recent Times to get a Biopic!!!

    Someone with more muscle should have been chosen instead of Ranbir tho…Shahid Kapoor/Varun Dhawan would be better.

  • Now everyone will get know who is Aamir. Without aamir raju hirani won’t cross even 100 crore, forget 800 crore and all.

  • Lets see of this film crosses even 100 crore. Than we will see how much power Raju has without Aamir. Raju has zero ATBBs without Aamir. Aamir has 2 ATBBs without Hirani.

  • A biopic should be made on bakri too. It will be very interesting to see how the footpathi bakri gets yrf-dhama backing, how airport security makes him Nanga and destroy his ANDKOSH, how he takes help from others to give birth a child (surrogate), how he lost his tamper seeing his daughter dating security guards of stadium.

  • Not excited about this film. High time Raju Hirano actually tries a different genre. Huge fan of his films but he’s turning into Madhur Bhandarkar, using same story for different films.

    And the ‘positive’ side of criminal Sanjay Dutt is extremely annoying to be honest.

  • @Challa,well said.

    @pokemon,may dangal can earn more than Sanjay duty biopic as a CHRISTMAS release.but Raju Hirani will prove His power once again to make sanjay dutt biopic a big success .and also ranbir is better actor than amir on any day,so no problem at all.that’s why Raju Hirani is called papa of amir khan,lol.

  • @Picachoo dont worry about aamir’s Dangal as it will be the only movie which will shatter all records and cross 400 Cr in India alone and 1000 Cr worldwide. But this biopic will definitely earn way more than fan + raees +dilwale. Raju hirani>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Srk.

  • this film will prove mettle of raju hirani. if this film ll b anything less than blockbuster it ll prove aamir contribution in r. h career.
