The recent trailer of 'Sanju' is proof that the movie will either make or break Ranbir Kapoor, who not only seems to have played the role brilliantly, but also greatly resembles the titular character, Sanjay Dutt. Not only has the 'Tamasha' actor grasped Dutt's mannerisms and body language, what is striking is his resemblance to the 'Vaastav' actor. When asked how, Prosthetic artist Dr Suresh Murkey revealed how he altered Ranbir's appearance without even meeting Dutt, and mostly by pictures given by director Rajkumar Hirani.
“It was based on the pictures that I designed Ranbir's prosthetics. I took four sets of measurements of Ranbir's face in order to minimise any scope of error,” Murkey said. He said to make Kapoor look absolutely like Dutt in the nineties, Murkey worked on the lower half of Ranbir's face. “I needed to make Ranbir's jaw bone look different to resemble Dutt's, and make his cheeks look puffy, especially near the lips.” He added, “In order to add age to his face for the latter part of the film, prosthetics were worn on the upper part of his mouth so that his cheeks could look fuller near the nose and below the eyes.”
'Sanju' narrates the life of Dutt. It will over six stages of his life, including his battle with drug addiction, loss of his mother, rise to stardom and his imprisonment for illegally possessing arms in a case related to the 1993 Bombay Blasts.
