On the sidelines of the 16th Mumbai Film Festival, when IANS asked Hirani about the plans of making a biopic on Sanjay, Hirani said: "I'm here for MAMI (festival organisers Mumbai Academy of Moving Image), so please let's stick to this subject." "I personally enjoy biopics, and I like the fact that Hollywood is making biopics on unknown people. It's great. Biopics are very fascinating, but not too many of them are being made here. I certainly find them fascinating, but I feel it's too early to announce about Sanjay Dutt's biopic," he added. According to reports, Ranbir Kapoor has been chosen to play the convicted actor on the big screen.
