    From the moment that it was mentioned that ace director Rajkumar Hirani is making a biopic about Sanjay Dutt, we have been excited about it—and why not?

    A Sanjay Dutt biopic made by the director makes perfect sense, for numerous reasons. Rajkumar Hirani clearly knows a lot about the actor, having worked with him in the Munnabhai series; biopics are in trend; Sanjay Dutt's controversial life will make for a great subject. 

    Having seen the teaser as well as poster of the film, we're truly brimming with excitement over the full trailer as well as the film itself. What has really got us going is that the talent that has been assembled on screen. And not only that, these castings are not only focused on the biggest names but they have been made with the kind of far-sightedness that can truly help this movie become a memorable one.

    Here are all the actors that have been cast as various characters in Sanjay Dutt's life.

    First, of course, Ranbir Kapoor is essaying the role of Sanjay Dutt. It is said that the role will especially focus on the actor in his early days.
