Anil Kapoor Counts Rajkumar Hirani In The League Of Legendary Filmmakers

One of the biggest blockbusters of 2018 that surprised everyone was Ranbir Kapoor starrer 'Sanju'. This Sanjay Dutt biopic directed by Rajkumar Hirani became the talking point for many reasons. From depicting Sanjay Dutt's crucial life to missing out on some controversial incidences to creating sympathy for Sanjay Dutt among audiences and to Ranbir Kapoor's eerie similarity to Sanjay Dutt in terms of his looks, the film garnered all the attention it could. But despite the criticism and the appreciation at the same time, 'Sanju' as a film has managed to impress everyone. So much so, that the film, its team and its makers still continue to garner all the appreciation, even after almost 3 months of its release.
