Ranbir Kapoor is coming back to the big screen with Sanju, based on the life of actor Sanjay Dutt. While the film’s teaser has sent fans into a tizzy, director Raju Hirani has spiked our interest further by releasing posters of the film where Ranbir looks like a splitting image of Sanjay Dutt, besides giving us a glimpse of the various characters part of the biopic. Here’s the poster featuring Dia Mirza who plays Sanjay Dutt’s wife, Maanyata Dutt’s role in the film.
Speaking about her part, Dia said, "I'm very, very excited about the Dutt biopic and my work in it. I don't want to put too much pressure on myself by thinking about the fact that it might take my career as an actor in a new direction".
Here’s another poster that gives us a glimpse into a lesser known camaraderie. It attempts to trace a friendship between Sanjay Dutt and a close pal. The character is essayed by Vicky Kaushal.
The poster unveiled a day after Sunil Dutt's death anniversary sees a trembling Ranbir looking for some paternal comfort and clinging to Paresh Rawal, who is set to play Sunil Dutt in the film.
The poster shared by Rajkumar Hirani gives us a glimpse into a younger Sanjay Dutt’s love life.
