On the trailer launch, Everybody said something about Sanjay Dutt. The movie Sanju will release on 29th June 2018 directed by Rajkumar Hirani. ##
Vidhu Vinod Chopra:- ##
When Sanju fist time went to jail, I didn't know him. So if you could remember from that time, he was blacklisted by the film industry. I didn't know Sanju and made a film with him So I also was blacklisted by the industry. ##
So We announced that film and when Sanju came from the jail then he called me, "I will make a film with you." ##
I said, "I don't have any film." ##
He said, "You announced a film for me." ##
I said, "I took a stand because till you proved guilty, you are innocent." ##
He understood a little bit. When he came home that was the first time a met him. He said, "We will work together". ##
Then I said, "Not right now, It was just a stand that I took." ##
Then I worked him many films like Mission Kashmir, Eklvya, Munna Bhai. ##
So Sanju is like a part of our life. But the important thing I want to tell you is that when I heard the story of this film by Abhijat Joshi and Raju then that Sanju I had known for years, I really don't know him. ##
Because this true story is beyond what I knew about Sanju. ##
It's unbelievable. ##
That is what I have to say about Sanju. ##
Dia Mirza:- ##
I call him "Sanju Sir". ##
I have worked with him in many films. ##
While interacting with him, I felt that he had been extremely warm, affectionate, kind and generous. When I heard the script of this film then it just blew my mind. ##
I couldn't believe that how layered and how detailed this narrative was and When you are a part of this film industry then you hear things about people but when I heard the script then I heard things that I never heard before and that was just remarkable about it. ##
And for some reason, I felt like I am now closer to him than I ever did before. I feel more connected with him than ever before and We all love him. ##
Manisha Koirala:- ##
Baba that I know is all heart. ##
I did 3-4 films with him. He has always been like a prankster, happy, all heart kind of a person. ##
I really looking forward to seeing this film because there are many aspects of his life that I didn't know. So I am keen to watch this movie. ##
Paresh Rawal:- ##
I got SMS from Akshay Khanna on 5 or 6 January 2017. the SMS was, "The Script coming to your ways, it has a spiritual writing that I have never seen before."
After that, I met Raju then I read the script.
Akshay Khanna was right about the script that that much spiritual writing not done in Hindi Cinema. ##
It was a fantastic script. ##
And I also got to work with Raju Hirani and my favourite actor Ranbir Kapoor. It was a win-win situation for me. ##
Vinod will agree that I didn't talk about money too. ##
I am very lucky that I am in this film and I got a role of that person (Sunil Dutt ) whom I respect by heart.
That could be too much but I had never seen Madar Teresa but I had seen Dutt Sahab that type of person he was. ##
Rajkumar Hirani:- ##
As a filmmaker, We are very greedy for engaging and entertaining content which makes people laugh and cry. ##
So when I heard Sanju's story by him then I got to know that One type of story about Sanju, everybody knows. Press wrote many things about him. ##
But what story I heard, was about a father-son story and a story of friendship. ##
So essentially, these are those chapters that you had not read anywhere. ##
We told the story with honesty. Wrong is wrong and Right is right. ##
For me, it was greed to get a great story. ##
Sonam Kapoor:- ##
I just want to work with Raju sir So I said "Yes" to the film. ##
It was as easy as that. I want to be a part of Vinod uncle's any film that he makes. ##
I just wanted to part of his production and whatever film he is going to offer to me, I will always say "Yes".
I am happy to work with Ranbir after 10 years. ##
Ranbir Kapoor:- ##
I said it before because of last one year I am talking about Sanju sir. ##
When I was a child then his poster used to hang in my cupboard. ##
Now today, In front of all of you, I am in his shoes for trying to represent him. ##
I think in my life, I really want Sanju sir to like me. ##
I know that I will never be the man he is. ##
I can never be the person he is, in every which way in that, I go about him, as a career or as a person. ##
Through this film I really want Sanju sir to like me because I feel that he is a man that I respect a lot, I really look up to him and I really hope that he feels that I have represented his life in a very honest and proved it. ##
Vicky Kaushal:- ##
Like all of you, I also grew up by watching his films. ##
I still remember that in our house we have a picture which my papa has the same costume as Sanju sir because he was body doubled of Sanju sir in a film. ##
Now after so many years, I get a chance to play an important role in his life. I feel truly blessed that I got a change. Thank you Raju sir and Vinod sir for giving me a chance. ##
