Ever since Ranbir Kapoor has decided to step into Sanjay Dutt’s role for his biopic, he is leaving no stone unturned to get the nuances of the character right. From physical transformation to his walking style and the hair, RK is trying his best to get that look right.

Now, according to a popular tabloid, Dutt, who will begin shooting for Siddharth Anand’s film by year end, followed by the Munnabhai franchise, is ‘most interested in the biopic’.

The film, which is directed by Rajkumar Hirani, goes on-floors in October. Reveals Sanjay, “It will be a collaborative project between both our productions houses.

” Given that Sanjay won’t be acting in the biopic, he feels that it makes the job harder for Ranbir Kapoor. Quips Sanjay, “It will be a problem for him because he will need to grow his hair out, get really lean at first and then beef up. It’s a physically challenging role for any actor. Who said it was easy being me?

” A source close to the film, informs the daily, “The first sequences to be shot are from the 1990s, when Sanjay acted in films like Thaanedar, Saajan, Gumrah, Khalnayak, Aatish, Safari and Kartoos. After that they will go back by a decade to the '80s, which will focus more on his personal life. There won’t be any archival footage used though.

” Ranbir has four months of time to get into Baba’s look for which he has already begun the preparations. He will have to shed almost 10-20 kgs for the initial shoot, post which he will have to regain weight for the second schedule. Sanjay himself is helping the actor with the prep. Last week, both Ranbir and Sanjay met in Delhi where RK was also seen spending some time with Dutt’s kids Shahraan and Iqra.

"This was followed by Sanjay sharing his life experiences with him over a family dinner. It’s become a ritual for Ranbir to drop by Sanjay’s home for late night dinners,“ reveals the source to the daily.
