"I am working on Sanjay Dutt biopic and we would start next year. I was skeptical initially as the underworld part is not one of my favourite worlds. Abhijat Joshi (writer) and I sat with Sanjay for 25 days and discovered that we wanted to say this story," Hirani said on the sidelines of MAMI festival in Mumbai."We wanted to say this story as it is a human story... It is an emotional story. It has fun moments. It is an entertaining story. It is a story about father, son, his friends... his world. The story is in the same league as we make it," he said.
Dutt, 56, is presently at the Yerwada prison in Pune where he is serving the five-year sentence for possession of illegal arms and ammunition.
Hirani makes it clear that underworld would be a part of the biopic.
"Everything would be part of the film... We are not cutting it," he said.
Even though Hirani and Dutt are good friends, the director insists he would not be biased while making the movie. "I would not be biased... The film would not glorify him. I would never ever make a film to glorify someone. I would always make an honest film. I can make a film every year but I take five years to make a film. I will make this film, as it is a great story. Besides Sanjay, we have met a lot of other people as well," he said.
