Sanjay Gupta: I don’t think the Dutt biopic should be made

Mumbai: Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta is not in favour of a biopic being made on his actor-friend Sanjay Dutt.

Director Rajkumar Hirani is busy working on the biopic, starring Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role.

“I don’t think the biopic should be made. He is very much around and will be coming back as a hero to films. So, what is the need? He has had an interesting life and everyone knows about it,” Gupta said in an interview here.

The “Shootout at Lokhandwala” director has ruled out an appearance in the film.

“There will be no character of mine in the film. I want to be the hero and not hero’s friend,” he said in a lighter vein.

Gupta, however, thinks Ranbir is apt to portray young Dutt.
