Manisha Koirala has been roped-in to portray the late actress Nargis Dutt, mother of Sanjay Dutt in the celeb and cinema star’s biopic. Director Rajkumar Hirani felt that Manisha Koirala would be apt to play the part of Ranbir Kapoor’s mother in the biopic, as she too has fought the Big C, while Nargis suffered from pancreatic cancer. While Manisha Koirala will play Sanjay Dutt’s real mother Nargis’ role, Paresh Rawal will portray father Sunil Dutt on the silver screen, a role which was previously offered to Akshaye Khanna. Rajkumar Hirani has brought together an ensemble cast of celebs and cinema, with Ranbir Kapoor playing Sanjay Dutt, Dia Mirza as Manyata Dutt and two interesting cameos by Sonam Kapoor and Anushka Sharma. The title for the Sanjay Dutt biopic has not been revealed yet and the team is planning to release the much awaited Bollywood film in December this year.
