Ranbir Kapoor’s Sanju teaser crosses 30 million on YouTube in 48 hours

Just two days back the teaser of Rajkumar Hirani’s Sanju starring Ranbir Kapoor was released. The biopic made on the troubled life and times of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt also stars Sonam Kapoor, Manisha Koirala, Paresh Rawal, Anushka Sharma, Dia Mirza and Vicky Kaushal. Ranbir’s look from the film took no time to go viral on the internet proving that he indeed seems to be the best choice for the film. 


The teaser stars Ranbir Kapoor, as Sanjay Dutt, giving glimpses of the different phases in his life. The one-and-a-half-minute teaser opens with Ranbir aka Dutt walking out of Yerawada Central Jail. Then his drug addiction at 22, his days of leisure in New York, begging on the streets for a bus ticket to the days spent in prison… all shocking insights about Dutt’s life were revealed. It’s incredible how RK has aced every look of Dutt’s character corresponding to the different phases of his life, proving the brilliant actor in him.


On the transformation for his role, Ranbir said at the teaser launch, “It was fast, as the number of days weren’t many. I gave myself a month break between every phase. So, there was a lot of team effort behind this. A year before that we did a lot of prep and screen tests, trying to give Raju sir the confidence that I can look like the muscular Sanjay Dutt. I usually have a thin frame, it was hard for me to put on muscles. I can look like the Sanjay Dutt, who comes out of the jail or the guy who was doing Munna Bhai. Looking like young Sanjay in Rocky was easy too because that’s how I also look.”


Ranbir also added, “I have always been a Sanjay Dutt fan. So, for me, it was a fan playing his icon. But the hardest thing for me was to give myself the confidence to go ahead. I consider Sanjay Dutt a flawed but a wonderful person. He’s a pop icon. It was scary.”
