Fiction format more suitable for biopics, says Hirani

Entertainment, Pollywood

Mumbai: Rajkumar Hirani, whose next is a biopic on his 'Munnabhai' star Sanjay Dutt, believes the actor's life story would translate better in the fiction format. Actor Ranbir Kapoor plays the lead role in the movie.

When asked if the Dutt biopic could've been turned into a documentary, Hirani said, "In a film like 'Sanju', I think it's more engaging as a fictional film where you see another actor doing it. Otherwise, I can just say, 'Ok here's a man who did drugs, did this' it's boring," he said at 'Films For Change' campaign launch of 'Good Pitch India' hosted by The Indian Documentary Foundation.
