What Sanjay Dutt's biopic will be about

Mumbai: On Friday night, the pk trio of director Raj Kumar Hirani, Aamir Khan and Sanjay Dutt (who plays a cameo in pk) met at Dutts' Pali Hill residence. According to a source present there, "Raju, Aamir and Sanju were engaged in a deep discussion. Although a stream of visitors, including politicians and their kin, kept dropping in, the three of them were oblivious to the other guests."  

Apparently, Hirani and Khan had dropped in to get Dutt's official approval to make a biopic on him. Says Dutt's friend, "It isn't very clear what the extent of Aamir's involvement with the project would be."

Dutt was given a brief outline by Hirani of the proposed film's format. Dutt liked what he heard. He has unofficially sanctioned the project which will be co-produced by Hirani and him.

"There will be references to Sanju's run-in with the law and his imprisonment. But the film will be about the tumultuous life led by Dutt, his loss of bearings after he lost his mother and his inability to find peace and domestic harmony until he met Maanyata."

Ranbir Kapoor, who will be playing Sanjay Dutt, is away on a holiday. He is expected to meet Dutt when he returns in the first week of January just before Dutt's return to jail.

This will be the first of the two biopics that Ranbir is slated to do on a Bollywood personality.

Besides Sanjay Dutt, he will also be playing actor-singer-filmmaker-composer Kishore Kumar in a film to be directed by Anurag Basu, that has been long in the planning stages.
