Director Rajkumar Hirani who has been working on a biopic of Sanjay Dutt is planning to rope Amitabh Bachchan for the Sanjay's father Sunil Dutt's role. According to the grapevine Big B was the obvious choice as Sanjay considers Amitabh as father and Abhishek as younger brother. Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor is likely to reprise the role of Sanjay Dutt.
The PK director believes that only Amitabh can match and fit the role of Sunil Dutt, if at all, things materialise, then it would be first collaboration of Rajkumar Hirani with Amitabh. Vidhu Vinod Chopra would take up the production.
Commenting about playing Sanjay Dutt on the silver screen, Ranbir said, “It is a huge responsibility at the same time a tough task. I think Raju sir himself hasn't decided if he wants me to do or not.” As per the sources, Rajkumar Hirani will start this project once Sanjay is set free from jail who is currently serving a sentence in connection with the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case.
