Ranbir Kapoor in Rajkumar Hirani film?

Ranbir KapoorThere are reports that ‘Munnabhai’ director Rajkumar Hirani, is keen on directing a film based on Sanjay Dutt’s life.

Dutt, who is currently in jail serving his 5-year imprisonment in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case, has led a controversial life.

The decision to make a film on his life was reportedly taken a week before Dutt returned to Pune’s Yerawada Jail after his parole period ran out.

A source close to Dutt confirmed the same “Maanyata was keen on a film being made on her husband’s life for Sanjay Dutt Productions. But the couple wanted only Rajkumar Hirani to direct the film as Sanju sir has created magic with Raju in Munnabhai MBBS and Lage Raho Munnabhai”

While Hirani was unwilling to commit to a film before the release of ‘P.K’ with Aamir Khan, both Maanyata and Sanjay were adamant on Hirani directing the film.

“Finally, he (Hirani) has said yes to a film on the life of Sanjay Dutt. He will start researching and putting the project together after he completes the post-production of ‘Peekay’,” the source aded.

There are also reports that both Dutt and his wife were keen on casting Ranbir Kapoor in the film, who himself is a huge fan of Sanjay Dutt and readily agreed to be a part of the film.

  • I wonder if he will make an unbiased movie about Sanju’s life. As Raju Hirani is Sanjay Dutt’s friend, he might portray only Sanjay’s side of the story hiding any wrong things he has done.

  • Anupama, exactly my thoughts too while reading the article. Really don’t think Hirani will make an honest film. It’ll just be a feel good film, making Dutt look like a victim of circumstances.

    Its pretty clear that Manyata wants to clear her husbands name, which explains why they were ‘adamant’ on Hirani, who happens to be their family friend, to direct the film.

    The truth is.. Sanju baba was a drug addict in the company of wrong people. I dont think he was directly responsible for killing anyone, let alone the 1993 bomb blasts, but the fact is.. he possessed weapons used in the blasts and has been convicted.

    Anyway, hope to watch a good film. Ranbir is an iffy choice.. he is not as tough as Sanjay Dutt, nor does he have that personality.

  • @Real champ
    PK will be ATBB as Aamir has 3 ATBBs in 6 years.
    HNY will struggle to beat Ready as 4 SRK films failed to beat Ready out of 5 films, in last 4 years.

  • yes I also like sanju baba’s act especially in vaastav,munna bhai mbbs and lagey raho munna bhai and many more,also Raju hirani doesn’t need big actors to hit a film his name and story sufficient to make a film to blockbuster,but ranbir couldn’t play the role of sanju baba as his tapori style in besharam looks too innocent not even less than upto mark,hope Raju will manage everything.

    @True fan,yes you listened right,amir has only 4bb in 24 years,ha ha ha…you mdiget’s fan never realise about that,lol,look KING already attacked salman in eid,deewali,now salman have to shift his release otherwise he will realise during DON vs jaaneman clash,lol.EIS DEEWALI

  • it will be good idea if the movie make independent people,so they will show to the people the truth,but now it seems sanju wife will hide some of the truth,althought i think Sanju is innocent

  • Raju Hirani has always touched our soul be it Munna Bhai series or 3 idiots. I am sure even P.K. will do it irrespective of its box office success. He should avoid doing biopics. He is best with comic-drama with a message.

  • India mai “har” kisiko subject banake Film bana do……….hum burbak mango peoples ohi dekhenge!!why a film on Sanjay Dutt,Dhoni,Ajju……..why???????try to write some fresh script;plzzzzzz!!!

  • this is not expected out of a film maker with hi integrity standards…..and that too making a film for sanjay dutt productions, its bound to be biased……

    when the judiciary of this country has convicted him, raju & ranbir shouldn’t be stepping into this….
