A source, according to the same report said that Bhushan believes Kapoor would suit the character well not only because he is a good actor but also because he has good market value. Even Aamir Khan, who shares a warm relationship with the Sanju star, tried to convince him to be a part of the project. During the promotions for  Sanju , Kapoor was asked of he was averse to taking up too many biopics as it requires complete transformation that are demanded of such roles. As a reply to the query, the actor had said that he enjoys undertaking challenges and doing things that are out of the ordinary since it is a part of his vocation. Akshay Kumar was finalised last year to play the role of Gulshan Kumar in the biopic and his look for the film was also unveiled.
