Earlier in an interview with indianexpress.com, Paresh Rawal spoke about Sanju and said, “It is chiefly a father-son story. The film is Sanjay Dutt and Sunil Dutts story. Working on Dutt has been amazing because of Rajkumar Hirani, Abhijat Joshis writing and because of Ranbir Kapoors acting.” Adding about playing a legendary actor on screen, he said, “Fortunately, I am playing a character which doesnt have a set mannerism, idiosyncrasy. He was very human. He didnt have any (air) about his stardom.”
