In a year of biopics, one particular project caught our attention like no other. Maybe because it wasn't a sports biopic or the fact that the subject is so complex and interesting.
Sanjay Dutt biopic is every devoted filmgoer's dream. There are many reasons for it but chiefly the reason it that it is one of the rare of the times that a Bollywood superstar is the main subject of a film.
And like every biopic, the onus is on the actor who plays the role as much as the subject. And in the case, the iconic role is played by Ranbir Kapoor.
After a lot of speculations, the actor finally opened up about the role. The actor said:
“I have due responsibility of portraying him onscreen the best way possible and most importantly in an engaging way coz that life is bloody interesting. It’s not a propaganda film; it’s not trying to paint him grey, white or black. It’s an engaging film; it’s a story which was waiting to be told. The actor further added that Sanjay Duttwas so giving and graceful to make this film. He even added that there was a time when Raju Hirani asked Dutt not to show certain portion of his life, but he was like no, all this needs to be told.”
Ranbir further continued,
“I can’t wait, it’s a tricky biopic also because it’s not somebody who is like in the past, or somebody who is dead or a political figure. He is a very famous Indian superstar who is still working in the movies. So how do you still make a biopic on him, what’s your beginning, middle and end. Especially what’s your end; you have a beginning and middle. So as an actor, it’s a challenge, but I have Hirani, Abhijat and the character of Sanjay Dutt, these are all great crutches and I am sure it’s gonna sail me through.”
Well, we are pumped.
