‘Sanju’ making: Ranbir Kapoor’s journey to look like Sanjay Dutt

Ranbir Kapoor has mastered in portraying Sanjay Dutt in his biopic 'Sanju', although a great deal of hard work by the actor went down behind the scenes to successfully transform himself into Sanjay's avatar.

Kapoor, who is usually known for his chocolate boy image, had to transform himself into one of the most controversial figures of Bollywood, which was one hell of a job. The film has already become one of the highest grosser of 2018 for all the right reasons.

Actress Sonam Kapoor, who played the role of Sanjay Dutt’s love interest in the movie, recently shared a video that showed Ranbir’s hard work and dedication to look like Sanjay.

Earlier in an interview to GQ magazine, Ranbir explained that the process behind his body transformation for the film was quite a challenge for him, “Since I was playing Sanjay, I had to physically look like him. My trainer would make me do odd things, like wake up at 3 am and have a milkshake and have eight meals in a day. So I was quite miserable”.

According to the 'Sanju' star, his body has a high metabolic rate that permits him to lose weight very easily but gaining weight could prove to be a rather difficult task for him.

The biopic starring Ranbir opened on June 29 to rave reviews as well as criticism for glossing over the more controversial aspects of the Hindi film actor’s life.
