Rajkumar Hirani’s film Sanju, which stars Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role, has been in news ever since it was planned.

The biopic on Sanjay Dutt’s life is one of the most awaited films of 2018. After a teaser, a  trailer and posters, the audience is already convinced that the film has a lot to offer.

Director Rajkumar Hirani has now released a new poster, which features Manisha Koirala as the talented actor and Sanjay Dutt’s mother, Nargis Dutt. And it is unbelievable to see how perfectly she has gotten into the skin of the character.  While the transformation of Ranbir Kapoor into Sanjay Dutt has been seen by all, the Koirala’s uncanny resemblance to Nargis also leaves the audience in awe.

In the poster, we can see Sanjay Dutt in his early age and Manisha in a vintage look. Her look with a long plait and signature bindi takes you back to the black-and-white era. Rajkumar Hirani captioned the poster as “She lovingly called him #Sanju and that’s what we all do too! Watch the ever so wonderful Manisha Koirala as Nargisji on 29th June.”

Sanju will hit the theatres on 29 June 2018.
