I WOULD HAVE DIRECTED SANJAY DUTT'S BIOPIC DIFFERENTLY: MAHESH MANJREKAR

I would have directed Sanjay Dutt's biopic differently: Mahesh Manjrekar

Mahesh Manjrekar, whose Marathi film, Bhai: Vyakti Ki Valli released recently, in an interview with Mirrorrevealed that he would have directed Sanjay Dutt's biopic Sanju differently. "I have seen Sanju, and it is a well-made commercial film. However, it left a lot unexplored. I would have directed it with a different approach, said the director, who also made a special appearance in the biopic directed by Rajkumar Hirani.


He further added that the audience liked the film, which is proved by the tons of money which the film made. "Hirani was on a journey to make a commercial film, and the numbers suggest that he has succeeded in doing so. As a film, I enjoyed it, but as a biopic I was a little disappointed, he pointed out.

Mahesh and Sanjay Dutt have worked together on films like Vastav, Kurukshetra, Hathyar and Viruddh to name a few. And back in the 2000's, they were said to be the closest pals in the B-Town.


Mahesh's next directorial is a Hindi film on the lines of the iconic Godfather franchise. He has silently wrapped up shooting for the film in Mumbai and is looking to make a formal announcement about the cast, crew and release date soon. His daughter, Ashwami, is gearing up for her big Hindi film debut under Salman Khan's banner.

yes, he would've made it as real as possible...

even his movie Vyakti ani Valli, is based on Maharashtra most favorite writer Pu La Deshpande... while he has tried to show the cute face of the writer, he hasn't stopped only there, he has shown how Pu La and his wife had a real life just like any of us and not a fairy tale life...

main thing i feel is he doesnt worship anyone, jo jaisa hai woh waisa hai...he himslf unapologetic about his life's choices and that's show in his movies too...

Except for the movie being much more serious and less commercial, there will be no difference even if Sanju was directed by Manjrekar. He is also a friend of Baba and no way he's going to show him as a terrorist, or anything which portrays him in a bad light.

Whatever, that's not the point. Some people are saying that he would've made the biopic real by showing Baba as terrorist. Just telling them that it wouldn't have happened no matter who is the director.😆
