Ranbir Kapoor says he's a very 'boring person'
I don't think the film will have any message to give: Ranbir Kapoor
Ranbir Kapoor plays the role of Sanjay Dutt in a biopic on the latter
Ranbir Kapoor unveiled the first look of Sanju, which narrates the story of Sanjay Dutt from an early age to his present. It encompasses six phases Sanjay Dutt's life, including his drug addiction, his rise to stardom and his confinement for illegally possessing arms in a case related to the 1993 Bombay Blasts. Director Rajkumar Hirani told IANS: "It is not possible to show a 55-year-old journey in two- or two-and-a-half-hours. We had to let go of certain parts." Producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra added: "We didn't want any controversial stuff in the film. What we have done is... presented it with a message. Once the message is clear, the whole film revolves around it."
When asked which of the six chapters of Sanjay's life was difficult to portray, Ranbir Kapoor said: "The difficult one which I did not expect was the young Sanjay Dutt because there were a lot of facets that we had to show. First, the drugs then coming out of it, then his mother's (actress Nargis) death and the most fun was Munna Bhai phase. I enjoyed doing it," he said.
Sanju, which releases on June 29, has an ensemble cast including Anushka Sharma, Paresh Rawal, Sonam Kapoor, Dia Mirza, Manisha Koirala, Sonam Kapoor and Tabu.
