Sonam Kapoor took to her Instagram to celebrate Sanju’s milestone. The actress played the role of Sanjay Dutt’s former love interest in the film. Marked the special occasion, Sonam shared behind-the-scene picture with Ranbir and director Rajkumar Hiran. "What an incredible experience it was to be a part of this film. Truly, one man that lived many lives," Sonam wrote.

Sanju is a hilarious and heartbreaking exploration of a man’s battle against his own wild self and the formidable external forces trying to crush him.
For the role, Ranbir had to completely transform himself and looked exactly like Sanjay Dutt, from lean to bulked up, the actor had to do it all. During the making of the film, Ranbir revealed that in order to bulk up for the part, he was eating eight meals a day and would often get up at 3 in the morning for his protein shakes.
