She
is
glad
the
project
is
giving
her
a
chance
to
work
with
one
of
her
favourite
filmmakers
Rajkumar
Hirani,
who
is
directing
the
film.
"I
am
working
on
Sanjay
Dutt's
biopic
right
now,
and
I
am
really
excited
about
it.
It's
wonderful
film
to
be
part
of,
and
to
be
directed
by
my
favourite
filmmaker,"
Dia
told
IANS.
How
easy
or
difficult
is
it
to
portray
a
real-life
character
on
the
big
screen?
"I
think
for
an
actor,
the
work
is
only
as
difficult
as
a
written
material.
With
the
team
so
sound
and
with
such
a
wonderful
environment
out
there,
you
feel
nothing
but
to
put
your
best
foot
forward," Dia
said.
"I
would
like
to
believe
that
whether
it
is
playing
a
real-life
character
or
fictional
character,
the
idea
is
to
understand
what
you
are
doing
and
the
purpose
of
your
presence
should
matter."
"What
you
need
to
do
is
to
take
the
story
forward...
That
should
matter
the
most,"
added
the
actress,
who
has
worked
with
Sanjay
in
films
like
Parineeta
and
Lage

Bhai
Veteran

while
Sanjay's
part
is
being
brought
alive
by

Kapoor
in
the
biopic.
