Sanju is an upcoming Indian biographical film based on the life of Indian actor Sanjay Dutt, directed and written by Rajkumar Hirani and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra.[2][3] The film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Sanjay Dutt in various stages of his life.[4] The film is set to be released on 29 June 2018.[5][6] A short official teaser of the film was released on 24 April 2018.[7][8] It became the highest viewed Hindi film teaser of all time, garnering more than 30 million views within the first 48 hours of its release and 150 million global views across several social media platforms.[9]

Plot

The film will follow Sanjay Dutt's life, mainly through three stages, during his drug addict phase, his many love affairs, and during the phase of his life when he went to jail under TADA case.

Cast

Production

In an interview with DNA India director Rajkumar Hirani revealed what prompted him to create a film based on Sanjay Dutt's life: "He was lonely. Maanayata (I think) was in hospital and he used to go there (sometimes) and then come home to an empty house. So, he was just venting, speaking straight from the heart. And, he started giving me anecdotes that were just gems for a filmmaker". In regards to gaining resources in constructing the film, Hirani said, "...we sat for a crazy amount of time and recorded everything ... I also met others who knew him — journalists, cops, relatives and friends. I felt there was a movie that should be told." In the same interview, Hirani revealed that Dutt was okay with the film not glorifying him.[16]

Hirani also stated that he chose to cast Ranbir Kapoor to play Dutt's role because he thought Kapoor is a fantastic actor and "at the perfect age."[16] He further revealed the similarities and differences between Dutt and Kapoor stating that "They have lived the life of actors all through. Ranbir is not someone from outside the industry who came here to be a hero. In a sense, it was easier for me to see him as Sanju." He also revealed that Ranbir Kapoor worked very hard to get the correct physicality, spending days watching videos "to strike the right balance"[16] Initially Kapoor was reluctant to portray the role. However, he agreed once "he saw the angle of the story".[16]

Kapoor requested and was given a month's break between every phase to complete his transformation into Dutt. Speaking about it at the teaser launch of the film, he stated that it was hard for him to look like the muscular Dutt as Kappor has a thinner frame. "...there was a lot of team effort behind this. A year before that we did a lot of prep and screen tests..."[17] He also revealed that for him the hardest aspect of playing the role was to give himself the confidence to go ahead with the project. For him, Sanjay Dutt is "a flawed but a wonderful person... a pop icon" and that's why it "was scary.”[17] In regards to Kapoor's transformation, father Rishi Kapoor revealed that Ranbir "took 6-7 weeks to get each of his different looks"[18]

In an interview with mid-day.com prosthetic artist, Dr Suresh Murkey said that he used prosthetics to make Ranbir Kapoor's face and age resemble Dutt's.[19]

Filming

Shooting for the film began on 12 January 2017 with Ranbir Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Dia Mirza and other cast and crew.[20] Shooting was wrapped on 21 January 2018.[21] In an interview with DNA After Hrs, Hirani revealed that the film was named Sanju after a lot of deliberation. Apparently, Nargis, Sanjay's mother, used to call him ‘Sanju’.[22]

Promotions

The official teaser of the film was released on 24 April 2018.[7] It went on to become the highest viewed Hindi film teaser of all time garnering more than 30 million views within the first 48 hours of its release and 150 million globally across several social media platforms.[9] Hirani started releasing poster and production stills through Twitter. The first poster was released on 30 April 2018 in which Kapoor looked as Sanjay Dutt when he first came out of jail in 2016. The next day, another poster was released showcasing another still of Kapoor as Dutt in 2016 leaving Yerwada jail.[23] Subsequently, more posters were released portraying Kapoor as Dutt from the 90s and 2003 when the films Rocky and Munna Bhai M.B.B.S were released respectively.[24][25] On May 7, Hirani released another poster.[26]

Soundtrack

The film's soundtrack features songs composed by A.R. Rahman, Amaal Mallik, Rohan-Rohan, and Vikram Montrose. It was reported that Amaal Mallik will be recreating the song "Kya Yehi Pyar Hai" from the film Rocky. The lyrics for the original song were written by Anand Bakshi and it was composed by R. D. Burman. Armaan Malik will sing the new version.[27]
