Talking about Ranbir Kapoor!

Ranbir Kapoor

Talented, versatile and a powerhouse in his own way, Ranbir is one of the most popular actors in the younger lot. But, despite his commendable performances, the actor has somehow failed to meet the expectations of his fans at the box office. The only saving grace he had in the last five years after Barfi was Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which was a commercial success. The buzz is that fans are eagerly waiting for the film and to witness Ranbir essaying the role of a an actor who is loved by all age groups. With the release of trailer and teasers, Ranbir has already won hearts across the globe for nailing the character.

The vision behind the film is a message — learning from the mistakes of one man. Never get seduced by the dark side. Despite being one of the most controversial stars of all times, Dutt never lost his stardom and his fans still love him the same way they did back then. But as harsh as it can get, Dutt has always stated that why fans should never follow the path he chose and should always look upto his character like Munna Bhai rather than the characters of thugs and gangsters.

The film starring Ranbir in the titular role is supported by a number of actors. From Paresh Rawal to Manisha Koirala to Vicky Kaushal, Sanju has some very fine names attached to it. But the interesting element here is that all of these actors will be essaying the role of Dutt’s loved ones in the films.
