Hirani also reportedly admitted to adding few scenes to create that empathy which was not there earlier. The part where the actor tries to kill himself after the verdict is out was added later. However, that too didn’t quite do well for the people.

Ranbir Kapoor starrer ‘Sanju’ has been performing phenomenally well at the box office. Owing to the dramatic life of Sanjay Dutt and Ranbir Kapoor’s performance coupled with Rajkumar Hirani’s storytelling, the movie has left the audience extremely impressed. Reports have it that the movie’s growth at the box office may lead to it earning 300-crores.

Apart from an ensemble of talented stars, ‘Sanju’ had several cameos as well in the movie, one of which was of Tabu’s. While several scenes from Sanjay Dutt’s life were recreated on the big screen to give more authenticity to the film, one more such scene where Tabu made a cameo too was recreated as it is. In the film, Ranbir Kapoor who plays Sanjay Dutt, is presented with an award for his role in ‘Munnabhai MBBS’ which was given away by Tabu herself.

Speaking about the same in recent reports, Tabu revealed as to how ‘Sanju’ director Rajkumar Hirani approached her to do that one small bit of presenting the award to Sanjay Dutt in 2004 for his performance in ‘Munnabhai MBBS’. Hirani reportedly contacted her one day to remind her about the day she presented the award and also requested her to do the scene for ‘Sanju’ again.

Tabu recollected that day and said that it was surreal for her recreate that scene wearing a similar outfit with a similar hairstyle which she donned during the actual event. She reportedly had walked into the sets of ‘Sanju’, right from the sets of ‘Golmaal Again’ which she was shooting at that time.

Rajkumar Hirani is one of the most successful directors of Bollywood. From the 'Munnabhai' series to 'Sanju' the director has always impressed the audience. He is currently riding high with the success of 'Sanju'. The film has already broken several records at the box office. Within just ten days the film is close to earning 300 crores at the box office.

Now, according to a report by a tabloid, during the promotions of 'Sanju,' Ranbir Kapoor has expressed his desire to work with the Rajkumar Hirani again. A close source to the tabloid revealed that Ranbir Kapoor asked Rajkumar Hirani that he has done two movies each with Sanjay Dutt and Aamir Khan and all the movies have been appreciated a lot. Ranbir even asked Hirani when would he make his second film with Ranbir and how many films will Raju make with Ranbir Kapoor. To this, the filmmaker replied that he will be doing five films with Ranbir Kapoor.

Earlier during the promotions of 'Sanju,' Ranbir Kapoor had expressed his desire to be part of '3 Idiots' sequel.

With the phenomenal success of 'Sanju', Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal are being lauded by one and all. However, people are also coming to realise how good Paresh Rawal was as Sanjay’s father Sunil Dutt. Interestingly, it turns out that Paresh was connected to the veteran actor in another way too. It came to light recently that Sunil wrote a letter to the 'Sanju' actor mere hours before his death in 2005. Paresh talked about the incident where he received a birthday letter from Mr Dutt five days before his actual birthday. Soon afterwards, the veteran actor passed away and the letter was forgotten. However, on the day Paresh was supposed to meet Rajkumar Hirani for the project, the letter cropped up again and in a way the actor felt that he was destined to portray the role of Mr Dutt. And after watching the film, one can safely say that no one could have played the yesteryear actor better than him.

A source close to the development reportedly revealed to a media portal that ‘Sanju’ didn’t come for free. Sanjay Dutt’s team negotiated hard and they finally settled for an outright Rs. 9-10 crores, plus a portion of the box office profits. Only then were the film’s producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra and director Rajkumar Hirani allowed access to Sanjay Dutt’s life.

The source also claimed that since Sanjay was willing to open up about the ups and downs of his life to his friends and fans through his biopic, a fair share out of the movie’s earnings must be shared with the man himself. Although, the makers of ‘Sanju’ have not confirmed these reports yet.

Rajkumar added that he had shown everything in the biopic but Sanjay Dutt had never come to see the film during its shooting.

Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘Sanju’ has finally hit the screens today and the fans can’t seem to stop raving about the film. It goes without saying that Rajkumar Hirani’s direction has been on point and when it matched with Ranbir Kapoor’s performance, ‘Sanju’ was taken to another level altogether. For the uninitiated, ‘Sanju’ is a biopic on Sanjay Dutt and shows the ups and downs of the actor from the 80s to his jail term.

Apart from Ranbir Kapoor who essays the role of Sanjay Dutt in the film, ‘Sanju’ has an ensemble cast which includes Sonam Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Vicky Kaushal, Manisha Koirala, Dia Mirza, Anushka Sharma and Karishma Tanna in pivotal roles. While everyone’s roles were sort of understood, fans were confused about Anuhka’s character in the film.

Ranbir Kapoor left everyone in sheer amazement when his pictures as Sanjay Dutt were leaked online last year. As much as the makers were trying to keep the look concealed, the paparazzi were successful in getting a glimpse at Ranbir’s transformation for ‘Sanju’. Ever since then the excitement around the film hasn’t died down even a tadbit.

Recently while interacting with a daily, Ranbir Kapoor revealed that as part of his prep, he met stand-up comic Dr Sanket Bhosale, who is known to mimic Dutt effortlessly. Even though he praised Dr Bhosale’s mimicry skills, he said that Rajkumar Hirani’s vision of showing Sanjay Dutt was different and that was the reason why he didn’t choose a mimicry artiste.

Ranbir said that Dr Bhosale does a comic version of a drunk Sanjay and that wasn’t something Ranbir is portraying in ‘Sanju’. Ranbir is playing him all the way from when he was 20 till today. The makers have explored Sanjay’s human side in the film and so it wouldn’t have been appropriate to get the mimicry artiste on board.

Ranbir concluded by revealing that the biggest challenge he faced was walking the fine line between "mimicking someone and trying to become the person". He further professed that since a lot of people copy Sanjay Dutt and his style, his job became even harder because he didn't want to look like a caricature.

Sanjay Dutt and Gulshan Grover share an extremely close bond with each other. Apart from doing several Bollywood films together, they also are really good friends in real life. Soon after the trailer of the much-awaited biopic ‘Sanju’ was released, it was speculated that Vicky Kaushal’s role was on the lines of Gulshan Grover.

It was clearly established that Vicky is playing the role of Ranbir Kapoor’s (who is portraying Sanjay Dutt), best friend in the movie. Now, this gave rise to many posing a question about the real-life inspiration for Vicky’s character, one of which turned out to be Gulshan Grover. As per reports, from airports to functions and even awards shows, Gulshan has had people walking up to him and asking him if Vicky is playing him in ‘Sanju’. To which he politely said that he will only know this after he watches the film.

Recently, Ranbir and Gulshan flew to Mumbai boarded on the same flight when Ranbir told him that he would invite Gulshan for the screening. Gulshan too said that he would watch the movie first day, first show for sure not to see if Vicky plays him or not, but to watch his brother’s life being portrayed on the big screen.

In an interview with a portal, the director reportedly said that the thought of Sanjay as his older self in the film's final portions had crossed his mind for a moment, but then he let it go as he felt it would be too abrupt and weird.

Hirani went on to add that the audience would feel disconnected with the film if the first half had Ranbir playing Sanjay Dutt and suddenly Sanjay Dutt takes over.
