Was
Ranbir
Kapoor
Nervous
When
It
Came
To
Playing
Dutt?
Ranbir
recalled,
"It
was
a
daunting
task
for
me.
I
knew
the
expectations,
I
knew
I
was
portraying
someone
who
is
still
so
relevant
and
a
much-loved
superstar."
Ranbir
Had
To
Represent
Him
With
A
Lot
Of
Respect,
Dignity
&
Heart
"I
knew
the
challenges
and
I
also
knew
that
there
is
a
fine
line
between
mimicry
and
representing
someone
who
is
loved
by
so
many
people.
That's
why
I
had
to
represent
him
with
a
lot
of
respect,
dignity
and
heart."
Ranbir's
Prep
For
Sanju
"It
took
us
six
to
eight
months
to
get
ready.
It
took
us
a
lot
of
time
to
prep,
do
the
prosthetic
tests,
acting
and
character
rehearsals.
The
bottom
line
is
that
it's
inspired
by
his
life
and
we
had
a
one-track
mind
to
achieve
it."
Is
Ranbir
Also
Larger-Than-Life
&
Emotional
Like
Sanjay
Dutt
In
Real
Life?
To
this,
he
replied,
"Not
at
all.
You
know
me
since
I
was
a
child.
I'm
more
of
an
introvert.
In
this
film,
I
really
connected
with
the
fact
that
we're
not
seeing
the
larger-than-life
Sanjay
Dutt.
We're
seeing
him
as
a
young
boy
who
is
lost;
someone
who
is
scared
of
his
father;
someone
who
lost
his
mother
at
a
young
age.
Nargisji
passed
away
barely
two
days
before
the
release
of
his
debut
film
Rocky.
He
Is
Thankful
That
His
Life
Doesn't
Have
Many
Controversies
There
is
also
the
part
on
him
getting
into
bad
company,
his
addiction
to
drugs
and
his
personal
struggle
to
come
out
of
it.
Everything
is
there
-
the
trouble
he
got
into
over
the
years,
the
price
he
paid
for
it,
how
he
fell
and
how
he
resurrected
himself.
My
life
has
been
very
different.
Thankfully,
there
are
not
so
many
controversies."
Ranbir
Doesn't
Take
His
Job
For
Granted
When quizzed
if
he
has
ever
been
unfaithful
to
a
role,
Ranbir
was
quoted
as
saying,,
"I
don't
take
my
job
for
granted.
I
understand
that
I'm
one
of
the
few
privileged
people
who
had
it
easy
in
life,
and
that
there
are
many
out
there
who
are
way
more
talented
than
me.
I
think
if
I
take
my
job
lightly
or
don't
surrender
to
every
role,
I
won't
deserve
the
position
that
I'm
in
today.
The
'Sanju'
Actor
Feels
That
He
Should
Have
Worked
Harder
In
Rajneeti
"However,
when
I
see
Raajneeti
(2010),
I
sometimes
feel
I
should
have
worked
harder
in
that
film.
Back
then,
I
didn't
understand
the
movie's
beats
and
nuances.
I'm
grateful
to
Prakash
Jha
for
giving
me
that
film.
If
I
had
a
chance
to
do
it
again,
I
will
give
it
much
more."
