While speaking about getting into the shoes of Khalnayak of Bollywood, Ranbir Kapoor had said, "Have known Sanju sir since I was a child but when I started working on the biopic, I felt it is not a biopic but science fiction. I couldn’t understand how can anyone live a life like this. There is so much you can learn from his life. It’s not a dramatic, romantic film. It’s science fiction.”

Sonam Kapoor who is reuniting with Ranbir Kapoor after 10 years in Sanju said Ranbir has not changed much over the years. "I don’t think I have changed either. He is such a fine actor. We just have 10 years of experience. But it was fabulous working with him. We shot in ND studios for Saawariya and for this film we shot at the same place. So it was deja vu,” Sonam told PTI in an earlier interview.
Manisha Koirala will be seen in the role of legendary actor Nargis Dutt in the Rajkumar Hirani directorial Sanju. Talking about stepping into the shoes of the late actor, Manisha told indianexpress.com, "To play her is a great honour. She is a legendary figure, no matter how forward we go, or whatever, her name would always be remembered, she would always be tagged as a legendary actor. She is a historical figure of the Bollywood industry. People remember her for films. It (the role) is challenging and I am excited to play her role.”

Indianexpress.com's Mimansa says, "One thing that Ranbir Kapoor does best is getting into the skin of his characters. Today, we got to see him as Bollywood's much-loved actor Sanjay Dutt in the teaser of Sanju. While the teaser is packaged in a quirky manner giving little glimpses of every age and side of Dutt's life, it is also set in a typical Rajkumar Hirani style of storytelling. Despite Dutt's life being an emotional journey, Hirani has kept the fun element intact. And not to miss, Ranbir's perfect body language and diction. The opening shot itself is a carbon copy from real life, raising expectations. We just hope Hirani shows Dutt's dark past and doomed side in equal measure."
