Rajkumar Hirani Recreates Sunil Dutt’s House For Sanju

Rajkumar Hirani is known for paying keen attention to details and he has left no stone unturned to make his upcoming film Sanju, which is a biopic on Sanjay Dutt, as close to reality as possible.

Hirani not only transformed his lead actor, Ranbir Kapoor into Sanjay but also went to great lengths to get the milieu right. He also recreated Sanjay’s family house, where he used to reside with his parents, late actors Sunil Dutt and Nargis Dutt.

As the bungalow got demolished a few years ago, Hirani took help of Sanjay’s sister, Priya Dutt to recreate the same house for his film and she helped him by providing pictures and videos of their ancestral house.

A source revealed, “Rajkumar sir wanted to portray Sanjay’s life right from childhood as is and hence we all got into recreating the entire set up for the house where Sanjay originally resided with his parents Sunil and Nargis Dutt. The set creation took about 25 days and once it was ready, the cast and crew including the visitors on the sets were shocked and amazed to see the exact replication of the original house.”

The trailer of Sanju will be unveiled on May 30 and the film will release on June 29.
