Ranbir Kapoor has been getting praises from all quarters, due to his portrayal of Sanjay Dutt in the Sanju trailer. The film's director Rajkumar Hirani was always adamant on the fact, that no one else could play Dutt better than Ranbir.
However, interestingly, not everyone was happy with the casting. In an interview with BollywoodLife, producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra said that he wanted Ranveer to play Dutt.
"It was Raju's idea to cast Ranbir. When he told me about Ranbir, I wasn't happy at all. I thought someone else, like Ranveer Singh, could play this role much better. I thought Ranveer had the flamboyance, the emotional depth as well as the ability to change himself completely to play Sanjay Dutt. But Raju was adamant that Ranbir would be perfect," said Chopra.
After they started work on the film, Chopra realised that he had to eat his words. "When we started shooting and Ranbir became Sanjay Dutt, I had to kind of eat my words. I think I can best sum this up by saying that Ranbir has become Sanjay Dutt both in swagger and soul."
Sanju has an ensemble cast, which includes Sonam Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Dia Mirza, Manisha Koirala and Paresh Rawal. It will hit the screens on June 29.
