Ranbir Kapoor’s starrer Sanju which released back in the year of 2018 has been a huge success and received a lot of appreciation. And although Ranbir seemed to have perfectly fit into the role, the producer of the film Vidhu Vinod Chopra went on to reveal in a recent interview that the actor  wasn’t the first choice for the film in fact he wanted Ranveer Singh to depict the role.

He said, "When he (director Rajkumar Hirani) told me about Ranbir, I wasn’t happy at all. I thought someone else, like Ranveer Singh, could play this role much better. I thought Ranveer had the flamboyance, the emotional depth as well, and the ability to change himself completely to play Sanjay Dutt. But Raju was adamant that Ranbir would be perfect. And when we started shooting and Ranbir became Sanjay Dutt, I had to kind of eat my words..”

Sanju is a biographical comedy-drama which has been directed by Rajkumar Hirani and depicted the life of Bollywood actor, Sanjay  Dutt.
