So it's now confirmed that Raju Hirani is making a Sanjay Dutt biopic. Question is why now & what will they focus on?? Sanjay Dutt has had a very eventful life so far with his mom's death, substance abuse issues, rehab, death of wife from cancer, terrorism charges. I am not sure if he a very bad person or a confused soul. And why is Hirani working with Sanjay's family to make a biopic now when he is in jail on pretty serious charges?? Sanjay's directors have always tried to potray him as this rockstar with a troubled heart , be it Khalnayak or Vaastav. But the biggest propaganda machine has been Raju Hirani with the Munnabhai series where he has potrayed Sanjay as an antisocial element with a noble heart.



I have always assumed that these directors have tried to cash in on Sanjay's life with these movies. Now that Hirani is making a biopic, what are your expectations? Will he just focus on Sanjay's POV & his relationship with his family, numerous women or will Sanjay try to explain why he did the questionable things that he did?? Finally should bollywood continue to glorify these real life villains or should their stories be told to set example for the future?

NO, not at this point.There are plenty of other good indians whose biopic should have been made first.

See, I don't find his life that interesting. But if Hirani can make an entertaining movie out of it then why not!

You think Hirani will show Sanjay chakki pising??😆 And who will direct Salman's biopic? Reshma Shetty? Atleast Salman is genuinely confused soul(atleast from what information is available) but can you say that about Sanjay??

Who knows? May be Hirani would show some "funny" scenes inside the jail, like that wedgie scene of Peekay.

Subhash Ghai should direct Sallu's biopic.

Sanjay Dutt is like Mary Kom...too much is known about him already. No need for a biopic so soon. Maybe after 50 years...

It's not needed, neither is it needed. Cinema is an art portraying life. Thats that... unless the portrayal of life as art is inimical to law and order of the state.
