At the Wazir teaser launch, the 3 Idiots director opened up about his next directorial…
News about Rajkumar Hirani making a biopic came long back. When the news was confirmed saying that it was his best friend Sanjay Dutt’s biopic, the whole country went into a tizzy. Everyone was expecting and counting names as to who will be cast in the biopic. However, it was not confirmed but Ranbir Kapoor had been said to be finalised for the lead role. But suddenly all excitement went abyss when news came out that the biopic has been shelved.
At the Wazir teaser launch, the Munnabhai director was asked about the much awaited biopic. He said, “The Sanjay Dutt biopic is definitely happening. We are still in the process of writing the script. Mostly, it will be done by the end of this year and we plan to go on floors next year.” Now that’s a definitely development. So will Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone be playing the lead characters as the rumours suggest? “Not at all. No casting has been finalised for the film. I don’t know from where this Deepika being in the biopic news came out. I haven’t even spoken to her about it” informs the PK director. So does that mean even the Kapoor lad hasn’t been finalised to play Dutt Jr onscreen? He adds, “Ranbir is the only one with whom I have spoken about the film. Nothing is finalised yet. Once the scripting is done fully, then we will get back to talking about who will play the central character in the biopic.”
So for all you Sanjay Dutt fans, it’s definitely a time to make merry as you favourite superstar will not just be out of prison by October, but will also have a biopic made on his life by the end of the next year. That too by the finest filmmaker of Bollywood. Sounds awesome, hai na?
