Speaking EXCLUSIVELY to SpotboyE.com, Sanju director Rajkumar Hirani lets in that Ranbir Kapoor was initially hesitant about the film. Getting Ranbir’s nod of approval didn’t come easy...
Ranbir Kapoor starrer Sanju is all set to hit cinemas on
June 29. Just 3 days before the nation gets to see Sanjay Dutt’s journey, which
has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride, on the big screen, the film’s
director Rajkumar Hirani shares an interesting anecdote around it.
Speaking exclusively to SpotboyE.com, Hirani lets in that
Ranbir Kapoor was a little hesitant about the biopic, when the PK hitmaker
first approached him._2018-6-26-13-0-19_original.jpg "sanju")

Sanjay Dutt was still serving jail time when Hirani sent
a text message first to gauge Ranbir’s interest and availability for the
project. “Yes, I sent him a text. I told him I want to see him for a film. It
was known by then that I am planning a film on Sanjay's life. Ranbir replied:
Hope it's not the Sanjay Dutt biopic.”

It did take some convincing on the part of Hirani to hold
Ranbir’s interest. “I wrote to him in return: Hai toh wahi, but listen
to it at least once. He heard it, felt that it had potential and
immediately said 'yes'.”
The other catch according to Hirani was that Ranbir would
have got to play as many as 6 roles in a single film. “He is getting to play as
many as 6 roles,” concluded the filmmaker.

Sarabh, Boman Irani, Sonam Kapoor and Anushka Sharma, Sanju is all set to take
the nation by storm.
