Raj Kumar Hirani has been in talks with Manyata Dutt about starting his film based on Sanjay Dutt‘s life for a while now. Even though the film has been on the back burner because Hirani was busy with his PK, Ranbir Kapoor was the strongest contender to play Dutt in his biopic.

PK is ready to release in December now, which means that Hirani can concentrate on the Sanjay Dutt biopic completely! The makers have reasons to smile as Ranbir has given the nod for the ambitious project. Kapoor has told Hirani that he’d be very interested in working with him and that he should etch out the character keeping Ranbir in mind. How wonderful!

It’s no secret that Dutt’s life has been a roller coaster ride. He has survived many ups and downs from multiple marriages, relationships, children, drug abuse, court cases, a film career and much more!

Reportedly, Hirani plans for the project to go on floors only after Dutt returns from his jail term. We are really looking forward to this one!

Do you think Ranbir will be able to do justice to Sanjay’s life? Tell us in comments below!
