Ranbir Kapoor's last film Jagga Jasoos may have failed to work its charm at the box office but that hasn't affected the popularity of this Kapoor lad a bit.

Currently, everyone is eagerly waiting to watch him play Sanjay Dutt in Rajkumar Hirani's much awaited Dutt biopic. Ranbir's first look from this flick has already garnered a positive response from the audience. Recently while talking to HT City, here's what Ranbir had to say about this film...

Ranbir further added, "Getting a physical look right is easy. To get somebody's soul right, the human being right- that's the hard part. I hope I've done a good job. I'm grateful for this film and am working hard on it. I hope that people understand this man's life, his soul through my work."

At the trailer launch of Bhoomi, Dutt had said, " was not skeptical at all because Raju, me and Abhijaat sat for many many hours and I played the cards right out in front of them. I've got nothing to hide and I have never had nothing to hide." However, he also added, "I hope nothing has been shown about my love life."

On the other hand, a Deccan Chronicle report had previously quoted a source as saying, "With the Sanjay Dutt biopic, he has been so honest about his life. We are not portraying a Gandhi like character. We're portraying a very fraud man. He's someone who is love and disliked. He's the most controversial, and to have the ability to tell about your life so honestly, and to make a movie out of it is very brave."

The Dutt biopic has an ensemble cast of Paresh Rawal, Manisha Koirala, Anushka Sharma, Sonam Kapoor, Dia Mirza and Vicky Kaushal. The flick is slated to release next year.
