Fans will get the whole picture even though he won’t cover every aspect of Sanjay Dutt’s life in an upcoming biopic directed by him, says Rajkumar Hirani.

The biopic, which stars Ranbir Kapoor, hasn’t gone on the floors yet but it is the most exciting biopic so far. Dutt has led an interesting and colourful life. And moreover, because Raju is directing the film. The two have worked in the Munnabhai series and delivered mega hits together. And last but not the least it is Raju and Ranbir Kapoor’s first film together.

Several speculations abound about the film. Like who will be the female lead? Will the film feature his three wives, his numerous link-ups before marriage, his relationship with his sisters and last but not the least, will Raju skim over the actor’s dark phases?

Says Raju, “You obviously can’t show his entire life in those two-and-a-half hours, so we will take the most relevant chapters in his life, but you will get a feeling like you’ve seen his entire life. If you see a movie like Gandhi, it’s only about his fight with the British. His whole family life is not a part of it, his relationship with his children is not there in the film. Similarly, here you will have to ignore things which are not relevant. And we’ll take the relevant parts which we think people will want to know."
