Sanjay Dutt Cameo in Biopic Likely: Reports

Rajkumar Hirani had tweeted back in January this year about Sanjay Dutt's bio-pic. Industry sources say that the bio-pic based on Sanjay Dutt's life starring Ranbir Kapoor and that Sanjay himself may have a cameo role in it. Contrary to earlier reports that Dutt may not figure in the movie at all, this fresh round of speculation has aroused everyone's curiosity.

The very mention of a bio-pic of Sanjay Dutt has triggered a lot of hype, which is only likely to build up further in the weeks and months ahead.Industry watchers say that it was only recently that Hirani and his team decided to have Sanjay in the movie in a cameo role. Will it be of the kind we used to see in Alfred Hitchkock movies with the celebrated director putting in an ever so brief appearance, or will it be something longer? This is hard to tell, but it's certain that Sanjay's appearance will make a huge difference, perhaps even at the till, in the final analysis. There's always something fascinating about an actor putting an appearance in a film which centres around his life.

For a long time, Dutt has been longing to present his side of the story, when it comes to his life, it is said. He would like legions of his fans to see him in better light, and he feels his honest portrayal would make a substantial difference.He has always maintained that he had nothing to hide.

The film-makers meanwhile, are keeping their cards close to their chest without letting too many leaks take place. Sanjay Dutt, on his part, is confident that Hirani would deliver to his own satisfaction and that of his fans and followers. Rajkumar Hirani is believed to have said that this would be "a very open biopic.”
