Sanjay Dutt’s story is stranger than fiction: Rajkumar Hirani

Talking to The Indian Express.com, Rajkumar Hirani said, ” Actually Sanjay’s story is stranger than fiction. It fell into my lap one day when Sanjay opened up and started talking about his story.”

Master director Rajkumar Hirani has already immersed himself into scripting Sanjay Dutt’s biopic. While this is the first time, the director is attempting to tell a story about a real person, Raju feels Sanjay Dutt’s life story is no less than fiction.

Talking to The Indian Express.com, Hirani said, ” Actually Sanjay’s story is stranger than fiction. It fell into my lap one day when Sanjay opened up and started talking about his story. I found it interesting. I sat with him for close to 25 days listening to him speak. The only reason behind making the film is because it is a very engaging story and I felt this should be told.”

Hirani also confirmed that the scripting will finish by early next year and film will go on floors and be up for release by 2017.
