I have not given Sanjay Dutt a clean chit in Sanju, says Rajkumar Hirani

Rajkumar Hirani is the Bollywood film-maker with the Midas touch. Hirani’s new film Sanju, which opens in cinemas on Friday, is expected to get the widest release for a Bollywood movie this year. The biopic on the troubled life of Sanjay Dutt, the leading man in Hirani’s first two films, is a departure from the director’s track record of comedies with a social message. Hirani, 55, spoke to Reuters about the film, what makes a good biopic and whether Sanju redeems the actor who was jailed in a case linked to the 1993 Mumbai bombings. And the fascination is not because I know him, but because I thought ‘somebody can have a life like that?’ Film-makers are greedy people - we want good stories and good subjects.
