Ranbir Kapoor who plays Sanjay Dutt in Rajkumar Hirani’s Sanju has been in the news for long. The trailer was released last week and the audience can’t stop praising Ranbir’s uncanny resemblance.

However, Salman Khan, who is a close friend of Sanjay Dutt, isn’t too impressed with Ranbir’s act in the film.

Recently while promoting his upcoming film Race 3, Salman Khan was asked about Sanju. To this, he said, “Whenever Sanju wants to make a comeback, he will. It is all left to Sanjay Dutt, the day he thinks ‘I want to come back, he will be back.’ Even for the movie Sanju, I thought why did somebody else play his part. No one can do justice to that. The last bit of the film, Sanju only should have played it himself. The last portion of the last eight to ten years, Sanju only should have done it.”
