After ‘Sanju’, Ram Gopal Varma to direct ‘real’ Sanjay Dutt biopic

21 Jul, 2018

After the success of Raj Kumar Hirani’s 'Sanju', Ram Gopal Varma has now announced that he will make a biopic on Sanjay Dutt and this one will tell the true story.

Hirani’s film has received much acclaim but many have criticised the project for being too soft on Sanjay Dutt’s image. Many scenes of 'Sanju' shows Sanjay being a victim of circumstances and Varma has now taken it upon himself to present the hard facts. He confirmed to Mumbai Mirror, “Yes, I am making the film”.

The film is unsurely titled 'Sanju: The Real Story'. “Varma plans to explore the events that led to his arrest in 1993. The men who were threatening his family and the events that actually happened when he acquired the guns. Sanju does talk about these episodes but Varma plans to show how the weapons were delivered and later destroyed,” as per the report.

When asked who will play Sanjay in the film, RGV said, “Details later.” According to reports RGV has been meeting with many investigators and cops related to Dutt’s case so he can gather all the information.

The recently released Sanju has earned over Indian rupees 300 crore at the box office.
