Sanjay Dutt once counselled Ranbir Kapoor to modify his on-screen persona and pursue macho roles. He received criticism for appearing in films like Barfi.
With the raw trailer for his upcoming movie Animal, Ranbir Kapoor released a beast that suddenly brought to memory the time when he was getting ready to play Sanjay Dutt in his biopic and used to spend a lot of time with Baba to adopt his mannerisms. At that point, the Khalnayak actor reportedly suggested to RK to alter his on-screen persona.
Additionally, according to reports, Dutt criticised Ranbir for acting in films like Barfi and chastised him for his decisions because RK was set to portray a fictionalised version of him in Sanju.
Bollywood and its classic stories are always entertaining to listen to. Speculation that only appears in tabloids and that is neither confirmed nor refuted. One such incident occurred while Sanjay Dutt, David Dhawan, Rajkumar Hirani, and Ranbir Kapoor were visiting Sanjay Dutt. There is a reason we are talking about this topic now even though DNA broke it in 2016.
In 2016, a tabloid reported that Sanjay Dutt offered RK a role in the movie Laddo and nearly made light of him. “That night, RK was the only member of the group who did not consume alcohol or tobacco,” it was reported. Sanju Baba approached the young actor, who was a frequent guest at the Dutt home, far beyond the witching hour and said, “I want to produce a film starring you.” Of course,” was Ranbir’s response. Then, Dutt said, “The movie is called Laddoo,” while maintaining his composure. The response to the Kapoor boy’s repeated word was, “Yes, after that we will make films called Imarti, Jalebi, and then Peda.”
Ranbir Kapoor was then criticised by Sanjay Dutt for failing to care about his on-screen persona. I recently watched Barfi! on TV,” he said. What prompted you to make such a film? You are playing me in the Sanjay Dutt biopic, bloody hell. I have no idea how they selected you.
Dutt attempted to educate Ranbir Kapoor about his career after managing his rage. You ought to be a macho man, he advised. play in macho flicks. Making films like Barfi! is not something you can do. You ought to be acting in action films and carrying weapons. Do you think performers like Salman, Ajay and I would still be working today if we hadn’t played macho roles in movies? You don’t connect with the general public, and that’s important
Reverting to the initial query, why this particular tale? Ranbir Kapoor, however, made an unexpected career change after Sanju was launched. He appeared as Shiva in the eagerly anticipated action avatar in Brahmastra. With Shamshera from Yash Raj Films, in which Sanjay Dutt also happened to play the villain, he then switched gears.
He also performed in Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar while maintaining his lover boy persona. With Animal, he is back with loaded action in a rampage mode. As Ranbir debuts his most populist self in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s movie on December 1, we wonder if Sanju Baba’s counsel on appealing to the masses lingered with him somewhere in the back of his mind.
