REVEALED: Here’s what Ranbir Kapoor underwent to get the Sanjay Dutt look perfect in Sanju

“Firstly I had to believe, I had to believe that I could be Sanju sir, once that belief set in, the confidence came. We had a great team and crew that worked really hard together for six months sitting on the chair for eight hours to get the look correct. There were many aspects, because I am playing him from 22 to what he is now so we started the film in reverse order”, says Ranbir while talking about the pepping stages before the shoot began.

Further divulging details of his weight gain, training and subsequent weight loss for Sanju, Ranbir added, “I put on 17-18 kgs. It was very hard for me because I am a very thin person, so putting on weight is very hard for me but losing weight is easy. So to put on that kind of weight then the prosthetics, and then the weight on the face, I was very particular about this because Sanju sir when he was 20 had a very chiseled face. But when he grew, in the 90s and 2000 his face also started holding a lot of water because of the alcohol and the other things he was doing. So yeah it had different aspects, there was body, prosthetics, hair styles, weight on the face, the 90s iconic muscular body. It was for this that I took help from this amazing trainer Kunal from Hyderabad.”

When prodded about his regime and diet Ranbir Kapoor went on, “Kunal monitored me every day, from waking up in the morning to chugging protein shakes to my diet and weight gain. The regime of having 8-10 meals a day, Kunal monitored each kilo that I put on”.

Hearing this, we are sure that getting the look for Sanju was a hard and daunting task. But the end result has been well worth the toil. As for the film, Sanju that is directed by Rajkumar Hirani is slated to hit screens on June 29.
