I'll do 5 movies with you: Rajkumar Hirani tells Ranbir Kapoor, post-Sanju's success
'Sanju' has proved to be the biggest gainer of 2018, just behind Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Padmaavat'
A mega blockbuster of 2018, Ranbir Kapoor’s film Sanju, a biopic on Sanjay Dutt has worked its magic at the box office. Not only has the film managed to earn a winning streak in domestic collections, inching closer to Padmaavat’s total collection (this year’s biggest hit) but it has also earned the young Kapoor lauds from his peers and fans. The film is close to making Rs 300 crores within just ten days of its release.
Post-success of the film, according to a report published in a daily, Ranbir expressed his desire to work with the director again.
A source close to the film said, "Ranbir told Raju that so far he’s made two movies each with Sanjay Dutt and Aamir Khan and all of them became huge hits. So he wanted to know when would the filmmaker do his second film with him as the leading man, discounting his cameo in PK. He also asked how many movies would Raju make with him. The filmmaker smiled and replied, ‘I’ll do five movies with you’."
A great storyteller that Rajkumar Hirani is considered to be has delivered several hits in the past. In fact, all his films have gone to leave a mark including PK, Munnabhai MBBS, 3 Idiots etc.
Talking about his latest film, Sanju, has already made Rs 265.48 crore within ten days. The film crossed Salman Khan’s Race 3’s entire collection in just a matter of a couple of days since its release. Sanju also recorded the highest ever single day collection for a Hindi film in India, leaving behind the Hindi version of Bahubali: The Conclusion.
