This comes from a reliable inside source close to Sanjay Dutt biopic. Ranbir Kapoor has already started preparing for Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra which also features Alia Bhatt. "The fantasy adventure is taking up a lot of his time, and Kapoor has asked Hirani for some time off the Dutt biopic,” says the source.

The source further informed, “Ranbir asked Rajkumar Hirani for bulk dates, he wanted to be excused for a considerable period to concentrate on Brahmastra. The director was happy to accommodated Ranbir and Ayan’s request.”

That sounds reasonable. Both Hirani and Mukerji understand the pulls and pressures of movie-making. They have sorted out Ranbir’s dates in an amicable fashion. The delay means more time for Hirani to spruce up his film. He’s known to be a perfectionist and he seems to have welcomed a chance to invest more time in working out the finer details of the biopic. We had told you in our first story on this delay that Hirani wants the film to be as close as possible to reality.

Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra also features Amitabh Bachchan. Brahmastra is the first time Ranbir and Alia will be seen acting opposite each other. First in a series of three films, Brahmastra is produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. The film also stars Amitabh Bachchan. This is third time good friends Ayan and Ranbir are working with each other. Ayan had first directed Ranbir in Wake Up Sid.
