Based on the life of controversial Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt, Sanju also stars Anushka Sharma, Dia Mirza, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, Manisha Koirala, Paresh Rawal and Vicky Kaushal in pivotal roles. While Ranbir has been commended for his portrayal of Dutt, several critics have deemed the film a 'dishonest' narrative which whitewashes Sanjay Dutt and his past.
