Rajkumar
Hirani's
Sanju,
which
is
based
on
Sanjay
Dutt's
turbulent
life,
is
all
set
to
hit
the
screens
this
Friday
(June
29,
2018).
Ranbir
Kapoor,
who
is
playing
the
lead
role
in
the
movie,
recently
revealed
to
Indian
Express
that
Sanjay
Dutt
paid
a
huge
price
for
being
irresponsible,
''In
this
film,
you
see
him
(Sanjay
Dutt)
suffer.
You
see
what
drugs
can
do
to
you
or
what
keeping
unlicensed
guns
can
result
in.''
''You
see
the
price
he
had
to
pay
for
being
irresponsible
-
towards
his
life,
his
relationships.
This
film
is
not
propaganda;
there
is
merit
in
the
story
and
a
lot
to
learn
from
Sanjay
Dutt's
mistakes.
The
film
doesn't
shy
away
from
that.
It
just
shows
an
unknown
aspect
of
him,
his
vulnerabilities.
Although,
when
the
film
was
offered
to
me,
I
did
have
my
doubts,''
Ranbir
said.
Ranbir
Kapoor
further
added,
''I
was
sceptical.
I
wondered
what
he
had
done
and
what
about
his
life
was
so
inspiring
that
one
could
make
a
film
on
it.
I
was
also
not
sure
how
I
would
play
him:
should
I
mimic
him
or
just
be
the
character?
But
then
I
read
the
script
and
couldn't
believe
he
had
gone
through
so
much.
It's
the
story
of
a
flawed
man.
Also,
just
the
fact
that
a
biopic
is
being
made
on
an
actor
who
is
still
there,
still
relevant,
is
unusual.
To
make
such
a
film
with
a
beginning,
middle
and
end
is
quite
challenging.''
Talking
about
his
relationship
with
Sanjay
Dutt,
Ranbir
said,
''He
was
a
family
friend,
but
to
me,
he
was
a
star.
There
was
this
whole
myth
around
him,
of
his
drugs' phase,
his
girlfriends,
his
sports
cars
and
watches.
And
that's
what
I
knew
of
him.
I
became
quite
close
to
him.
I
used
to
work
out
in
his
gym
and
he
had
gifted
me
a
Harley
Davidson
bike
six
years
ago
on
my
birthday.
It's
only
when
I
read
the
script
that
I
discovered
a
different
facet
to
him.
I
started
to
see
him
as
a
real
person,
someone
human,
someone
vulnerable.''
