3 years of Sanju: Here’s how lean Ranbir Kapoor transformed into a hunk Sanjay Dutt in...

Sanju directed by Rajkumar Hirani and written by Abhijat Joshi emerged to be one of the most successful films in Hindi cinema. The gripping tale is a biopic of prolific actor Sanjay Dutt, who got a whole new lease of a career with Rajkumar’s ‘Munna Bhai M.B.B.S’. Sanjay and Rajkumar later collaborated on ‘Lage Rahe Munna Bhai’ and the actor even played a heartwrenching cameo in Aamir Khan-led ‘PK’. By Rajkumar Hirani’s own admission, he was fascinated by the multi-faceted life of Sanjay Dutt which went beyond the realms of cinema and included his personal life, family, politics, and court cases.

Ranbir revealed that in order to bulk up for the part, he was eating eight meals a day and would often get up at 3 in the morning for his protein shakes. He said, “Sanjay Dutt represents the epitome of bodybuilding and I could not screw that up”.
