Ranbir Kapoor schools Salman Khan over 'Race 3' star's comment on Sanjay Dutt biopic

Ranbir Kapoor's upcoming film 'Sanju' has already been declared a hit by many considering the appreciation the lead actor is garnering for his unbelivable portrayal of Sanjay Dutt in the biopic. The trailer has managed to convince everyone that there is no one who could do a better job of the role than Ranbir.

However, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who was quite close to Sanjay at some point of time and who shares a bitter past with Ranbir, had a different opionion on the matter.

In a recent media interaction when asked to comment on the Sanju trailer, Salman said, "I was wondering why is someone other than him (Dutt) is playing his part in the film. I think the last 7-8 years of his life in the movie should have been done by himself as no one can do it better than him."

When asked to comment on Salman's remark, Ranbir said in a recent interview, "It has never happened that a person played himself in his own biopic. This destroys the effect of a character. I knew that I will be compared to Sanjay Dutt and that is why I have tried my best to do justice to his role."

"Whether people see me in 40-year old Sanjay Dutt's avatar or 20-year old, they should feel that they are watching an artist who is playing Sanjay Dutt. It is correct that I cannot become a second Sanjay Dutt," he added.

Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, Sanju is scheduled to release on June 29. The film also stars Sonam Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Dia Mirza, Manisha Koirala and Paresh Rawal.
