Titled ‘Kirdaar Daagdaar’ (tainted character), the article slams Hirani for projecting Dutt as a role model for the younger generation despite his criminal past. Questioning his intent behind helming the film, the RSS asks him: “Why did you feel the need to make a film based on someone like Sanjay Dutt? as it to whitewash his character or to milk the box office?”, as reported by News18. Sanju released on 29 June and has made a whopping Rs 284 crore so far, as per India Today reports. It stars Ranbir Kapoor as Dutt, along with Anushka Sharma, Dia Mirza, Vicky Kaushal, Manisha Koirala and Sonam Kapoor.
