SHOCKING: Ranbir Kapoor’s TRANSFORMATION Into Sanjay Dutt!

The lean Ranbir Kapoor, the buffed-up Sanjay Dutt with his distinct body language — where is the resemblance between the two? When Rajkumar Hirani signed Ranbir to play Sanjay Dutt in his biopic, many were left wondering how the actor will fill the shoes of Baba. In fact, Sanjay also had the same doubts. In fact, Sanjay wondered openly voiced his apprehensions as to how Ranbir Kapoor will portray him on-screen. But now, looking at the pictures of Ranbir Kapoor, we would tell Sanju to chill as the actor is perfectly getting the nuances and mannerisms of being Sanjay Dutt. The ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ actor had undergone some bone-breaking workout sessions to get into the shape of the 57-year-old actor and the transformation is just shocking!

According to reports, to get the body language right, Ranbir has watched over 250 hours of Sanjay Dutt’s footage, which also includes his films, videos, interview, appearances, etc. In fact, just in case you didn’t know, Ranbir has trained under Rana Daggubati’s fitness trainer Kunal Gir for his tremendous weight gain. Speaking of which, Gir had even revealed, “Kapoor trains in an hour and half-long workout schedules every day. “He has cut down on meat which dominated his diet so far. He is consuming more vegetables now and indulges in only lean meat like fish. Kapoor also enjoys a sumptuous home-cooked non-veg meal at his family residence every Saturday. He accompanies the meal, specially prepared by his grandmother Krishna Kapoor, with a few drinks.” Well, every effort is working in favour of the actor, it seems.

Turns out the first schedule of the film which began last month is wholly based on Sanjay’s current life. Which explains why Ranbir needs to look as bulky as possible to match up to the present Sanjay Dutt. However, according to reports in a leading daily, since Gir could not afford Kapoor to get that fat, he admits to using prosthetic to sport Dutt’s current look in the film.

The biopic is being directed by noted filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani, who in the past has worked with Sanjay Dutt in epic films like the Munnabhai series. The film will star Dia Mirza as Sanjay’s wife Maanayata Dutt while Vicky Kaushal of ‘Masaan’ fame will play Sanjay’s best friend. Apart from this, Sanjay is bucking up for Bhoomi, in which the actor plays a father. The film traces the father-daughter relationship and will go on floors from February 15. On the other hand, Ranbir will soon start promotions of Jagga Jasoos, starring his ex-flame Katrina Kaif and directed by Anurag Basu.
