Dia
On
How
She
Stepped
Into
Maanayata's
Shoes
"It
was
totally
my
director's
homework
and
I
followed
his
direction.
I
have
played
the
part
prescribed
to
me.
It
is
shaping
up
exactly
the
way
Raj
Kumar
Hirani's
films
shape
up."
She
Is
Impressed
With
Ranbir
Kapoor's
Dedication
"Ranbir
(Kapoor,
who
plays
Sanjay
Dutt)
is
possibly
one
of
the
most
inspiring
and
motivating
individuals
I
have
ever
worked
withHe
effortlessly
bring
nuance
to
his
character.
Ranbir
doesn't
talk
too
much
about
it.
He
just
does
it
and
you
see
the
magic
unfolding.Also,
he
has
an
amazing
temperament.
He
would
be
the
first
to
reach
the
location
because
he
would
need
five,
six
hours
to
do
prosthetic
make-up
to
play
the
older
part.
Despite
the
heat
and
the
long
hours,
he
would
come
on
set
before
time."
Hats
Off
To
Ranbir!
She
further
added,
"Women
have
always
been
challenged
physically
on
the
sets.We
have
been
thrown
into
freezing
environments
with
barely
anything
to
cover
us
or
into
extreme
heat,
caked
in
make-up,
and
heavy
clothes
and
jewellery.
And
we're
supposed
to
dance
and
look
beautiful.
After
I
saw
Ranbir
during
this
film,
I
am
never
going
to
complain
about
anything
again!
If
this
guy
can
be
so
accommodating,
calm,
collective
and
happy,
then
nobody
has
any
business
of
getting
hassled
and
irritated
even
if
they
are
physically
uncomfortable."
People
Mistook
Ranbir
For
Sanjay
Dutt
Dia
revealed,
"The
physical
transformation
was
unbelievable.
People
who
went
on
the
sets
thought
Ranbir
was
Sanju
sir.
Ranbir
made
Sanju
sir
his
own.
He
has
brought
his
own
integrity,
honesty
and
sincerity
into
the
part."
Dia
On
Why
She
Is
Choosy
About
Picking
Up
Scripts
"I
have
never
wanted
to
stay
away
from
movies,
but
I
think
it
is
a
combination
of
a
few
things.
Firstly,
in
the
last
six
years,
I
have
been
running
a
production
company.
I
have
made
two
films
and
that
takes
a
lot
of
my
time.
Also,
I
think
I
am
privileged
to
be
in
a
place
where
I
can
say
no.
My
choices
are
not
driven
by
fear
or
a
need
to
do
something
that
I
don't
believe
in.
My
absence
will
be
taken
care
of
now
when
people
will
see
me
in
the
Dutt
biopic."
She
Is
Very
Excited
About
The
Biopic
Earlier
the
actress
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I'm
very,
very
excited
about
the
Dutt
biopic
and
my
work
in
it.
I
don't
want
to
put
too
much
pressure
on
myself
by
thinking
about
the
fact
that
it
might
take
my
career
as
an
actor
in
a
new
direction."
