The Real Reason Why Akshaye Khanna Failed To Grab A Role In Ranbir Kapoor's Sanju
Akshaye Khanna was approached to play the role of Sanjay Dutt's father Sunil Dutt in Ranbir Kapoor's Sanju. Despite many attempts, he failed to pass the 'look test' and the role went to Paresh Rawal.
Ranbir Kapoor's Sanju showcased the life of Sanjay Dutt with all his flaws, goodness, ups and downs in life and almost every actor would have dreamt to star in the movie after watching how amazingly it was shown on the silver screen by film-maker Rajkumar Hirani. Also, the Accidental Prime Minister actor, Akshaye Khanna was approached to star in the movie by the director, but, unfortunately, Akshaye Khanna let it slip away from his hands as he failed in the 'look test' despite numerous attempts.

"I feel sad at not being able to work in Sanju after being bestowed upon with a chance to be the part of the film. He (Rajkumar Hirani) is such an incredible and brilliant story teller," Akshaye adds.
