Manoj Bajpayee's wife Neha to play Sanjay Dutt's wife Maanayata in his biopic?

Rajkumar Hirani's biopic on Sanjay Dutt is picking momentum by the day. After Paresh Rawal came on board to play the role of Sunil Dutt, speculations are rife about Neha Bajpayee, Manoj Bajpayee's wife, to play the role of Maanayata Dutt.

The petite actress, previously known as Shabana, made her debut opposite Bobby Deol in Kareeb and was last seen in Sanjay Gupta's Acid Factory, nine years ago. If she does come make a comeback, she will play the role of Sanjay Dutt's wife Maanayata opposite Ranbir Kapoor, who is playing the lead role.

Other actors on board are Anushka Sharma, who plays the role of a journalist and Sonam Kapoor, who plays one of Dutt's earlier love-interests.
