Sanju has portions of recreated scenes from Sanjay Dutt’s blockbuster film Munna Bhai MBBS.
Ranbir Kapoor has tried his best to emulate Sanjay Dutt in the biopic Sanju. One of the best sequences in the Rajkumar Hirani directorial involves Ranbir playing Sanjay’s iconic role of Munnai Bhai. But, it wasn’t easy for Ranbir to get into the big shoes of Sanjay.
Sanjay Dutt’s Munna Bhai is not just one of his career-best performances, it is also one of the most loved characters in Bollywood. Hence, Ranbir had to not just get his hair and makeup right but even the little nuances, as every scene and mannerism of the character is etched in the memory of fans.

We also get to know that Ranbir managed to achieve the perfect look after a dozen attempts. In few scenes, his face was superimposed on the original shot from Munna Bhai MBBS.
