Ranbir Kapoors Sanju is on a roll. The movie has become the highest opener of 2018 by minting Rs 34.75 crore on Friday. And it is being reported that the Sanjay Dutt biopic might join the Rs 100 crore club soon.

Sanju, which stars Ranbir Kapoor in the titular role, revolves around the ups and downs that the ultimate bad boy of Bollywood, Sanjay Dutt, has faced in his life. Dutts personal as well as professional history has been delved into by Rajkumar Hirani in Sanju. Interestingly, Dutt was the main lead for Rajkumar Hiranis debut film Munnabhai MBBS, which had performed quite well at the box office, thereby resurrecting Dutts career and establishing Hirani as a force to reckon with.
