On Monday, Ranbir Kapoor and Paresh Rawal, who are essaying Sanjay and Sunil Dutt respectively, in the Sanjay Dutt biopic, were seen on the sets of the film in Mumbai. The Kapoor lad, who has put on 12 kgs and grown out his hair to play Sanju baba from the 1990s, was dressed in a baggy shirt, a waist-coat and dark trousers. He was immediately joined by his on-screen dad, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the late Sunil Dutt, wearing a crisp white kurta-pyjama and a Nehru jacket.

Yesterday's shoot kicked off at 9 am and wrapped up around 6 pm in the evening. A warehouse had been erected at the far end of the studio near Aarey Milk Colony, for a sequence. The sets are monitored by around 20 bouncers, reports a tabloid. The movie went on floors on January 14 and Raju Hirani aims to wrap it up by June. “We are targeting a Christmas 2017 release," the director told the tabloid earlier adding, “It's not a film about guns, drugs and the underworld. It's a feel-good film about a father-son relationship... A buddy film with Sanju's many friends adding up to one from the US, played by Vicky Kaushal."

The biopic also features Anushka Sharma, who plays a journalist, and Sonam Kapoor reunites with him to embody all the women in Sanjay's life. The movie marks a comeback for Manisha Koirala, who will play Sanjay's late mother, actress Nargis.
