Sanjay Dutt biopic, Sanju, it is a known fact
that the film is going places. After wooing
hearts at the box office, the Ranbir Kapoor
starrer is all set receive an honour. The film
has been selected by the prestigious La
Trobe University in Australia for a special
screening.
If recent reports are to be believed, the
screening will be attended by Rajkumar
Hirani and Vicky Kaushal. While Ranbir
Kapoor is busy with his other work
commitments, Vicky who played the role of
Kamlesh Kapasi is expected to join Hirani in
Melbourne.
The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne is a
celebration of Indian cinema in the land
down under. This year the festival will be
taking place from 10th 22nd August
2018, under the unifying theme of
inclusion. This year, the festival is delighted
and proud to present Rajkumar Hirani as
the key guest who will celebrate Indian
Cinema along with the diaspora at IFFM. The
director who's currently riding on a huge
success wave after his film Sanju has gone
on to becoming the highest grosser of
2018.
Rajkumar Hirani will be screening the film
Sanju for university students from LaTrobe.
Australia's 3rd best university where a huge
mix of kids from all races and countries
study. He will introduce the film, talk about
Sanjay Dutt and show them a very different
sort of biopic something they aren't familiar
with. For many, this will be their first
Bollywood film ever.
Speaking on the opportunity in recent
reports, Hirani expressed that this one
would be a litmus test of sorts for the
makers. The director went on to explain
that whilst Sanjay always had a fan
following in India, this film will be
presented to audiences who have rarely
been exposed to Indian cinema. On talking
about the screening he said, "It's always an
enriching experience when people of
different diaspora watch our films. I look
forward to the special screening of Sanju
for the students at La Trobe. It would be an
interesting experience to see the reactions
of those who are almost alien to Hindi films
and the life of Sanjay Dutt.
The screening of Sanju is expected to be
held on August 12. On the other hand,
Rajkumar Hirani has revealed that he will
start the screening by introducing the
students to Sanjay Dutt and his journey in
Bollywood, albeit briefly. Besides that Hirani
is also expected to deliver a talk during this
special screening event. He is expected to
speak on what prompted him to make this
biopic on Sanjay Dutt etc.
Apart from this, we also hear that Rajkumar
Hirani and Vicky Kaushal have received an
invitation to attend the Indian Film Festival
of Melbourne. The festival sees many
Bollywood stars attending the same every
year. It is also being said that the director-
actor duo received this invitation owing to
their choice of cinema which is apparently
in resonance with the theme this year, that
is, Inclusion.
