New Delhi, Jul 28 (UNI) The shooting for the biopic on Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, which will have industry heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor play the title role, will begin from January 2017, trade sources said today. The film project, which is to be helmed by filmmaker Raju Hirani, was to go on floors by September this year but was delayed due to disputes between the makers, the sources said. The scrip of the film recently got a nod from Sanjay Dutt, who was released from prison in February after serving his remaining term in a case relating to the Mumbai bomb blasts. The sources said Ranbir will undergo strenuous training to don the look of Sanjay Dutt. The movie is scheduled for release in Christmas 2017. UNI AR AE/RSA 1525
