Till now, Rajkumar Hirani has not revealed the title for the upcoming biopic. While there have been speculations around the same, Hirani revealed what all the titles that came to being which were later discarded. When Hirani had told Sanjay Dutt about the film, he had clearly stated they would not want to glorify him but will tell the story as it all happened. They worked on many titles including Aisa Hi Hoon or Sarphira. But, whatever they worked on, it felt like either they were attacking the actor or glorifying him. They wanted something that went with the story and was neutral. During the conversation, Hirani revealed that Nargis Dutt, Sanjay's late mother, and veteran actress, would call him 'Sanju'. They thought this was the most neutral title without any preconceived notions.

He wrote, "I can’t stop praising the teaser of film #Sanju directed by my favourite director @RajkumarHirani and acted by @RanbirKapoorFC in a biopic of @SanjayDutt_ what HIRANI showed me yesterday @Whistling_Woods @5thVeda cultural hub before he shared his personal n professional experiences with students at amazing interactive session."
