Ranbir
Reacts
To
Salman’s
Comment
In
a
recent
media
interaction,
Ranbir
Kapoor
said,
"It
has
never
happened
that
a
person
played
himself
in
his
own
biopic.
This
destroys
the
effect
of
a
character.
I
knew
that
I
will
be
compared
to
Sanjay
Dutt
and
that
is
why
I
have
tried
my
best
to
do
justice
to
his
role."
He
Further
Added..
"Whether
people
see
me
in
40-year
old
Sanjay
Dutt's
avatar
or
20-year
old,
they
should
feel
that
they
are
watching
an
artist
who
is
playing
Sanjay
Dutt.
It
is
correct
that
I
cannot
become
a
second
Sanjay
Dutt."
In
A
Recent
Media
Interaction
Ranbir
Also
Talked
About
Going
Nervous
In
Front
Of
Sanjay
Dutt
"I
was
scared
to
death
when
I
saw
him
on
the
sets.
We
were
shooting
for
the
first
scene,
when
a
60-year-old
Sanjay
Dutt
is
looking
into
the
mirror
and
talking
to
himself.
He
was
sitting
behind
the
monitor
and
laughing.
I
was
just
busy
observing
him
as
he
laughed,
joked,
moved
his
neck
back.
I
used
to
just
make
notes
about
every
time
I
used
to
meet
him.
I
got
obsessed
with
him."
Earlier
Also
Ranbir
Had
Admitted
Being
In
Totally
We
Of
Sanjay
Dutt
When
asked
if
he
make
any
special
observations
about
Dutt
to
portray
him
better,
Ranbir
said,
"I
have
always
been
a
Sanjay
Dutt
fan.
For
me,
it
was
a
fan
trying
to
play
his
icon.
So,
I
think
the
hardest
thing
I
did
was
to
give
myself
the
confidence
that
I
can
play
this
man."
Earlier
Ranbir
Was
Not
Confident
Enough
To
Play
Sanjay
Dutt
"When
Raju
sir
told
me
about
this
film,
I
didn't
have
the
confidence
because
I
thought
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
it.
I
don't
have
the
courage,
don't
have
the
understanding
or
the
acting
chops
to
do
it."
This
Is
Why
Ranbir
Said
‘Yes’
To
Sanju
Speaking
about
the
main
reason
why
he
agreed
to
play
Sanjay
Dutt
in
Sanju,
Ranbir
revealed,
"This
is
not
an
acting
gig
for
me.
I
haven't
tried
to
show
good
acting,
bad
acting
or
showcase
my
talent.
I
think
it
was
just
the
opportunity
to
be
part
of
a
story
of
a
person
who
I
consider
to
be
my
icon."
