'Sanju' new poster out, Ranbir Kapoor looks eerily similar to Sanjay Dutt

He may be playing the lead in a biopic but actor Ranbir Kapoor &nbsp;doesn't think his life would be inspiring enough to make a biopic.&nbsp;

Ranbir along with filmmakers Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani was present at the teaser launch of 'Sanju', the Sanjay Dutt biopic, on Tuesday in Mumbai.

Asked if Ranbir will be open to someone else making a film on him, he said: "I will be ready but I don`t think my life is inspiring. I am a very boring person. I work, go back home and fall asleep. If a film is made, it will be a very existential kind of a film."&nbsp;

"If someone puts a camera like in the Bigg Boss house, you will see me work, come home and sleep. So yes, if someone wants to make a film then I won`t mind but I don`t think the film will work or it will have any message to give," he added.

The Sanjay Dutt biopic is directed by Hirani.&nbsp;

Asked to comment on showcasing six phases of Sanjay`s life and how much it has been fictionalised, Hirani said: "It is not possible to show a 55-year-old journey in two- or two-and-a-half-hours. We had to let go of certain parts."

Adding to Hirani`s comment, Chopra said: "We didn`t want any controversial stuff in the film. What we have done is... presented it with a message. Once the message is clear, the whole film revolves around it."

Ranbir was asked, out of the six chapters of Sanjay`s life, which one was difficult to portray.

"The difficult one which I did not expect was the young Sanju because there were a lot of facets that we had to show. First, the drugs then coming out of it, then his mother`s death and the most fun was Munna Bhai phase. I enjoyed doing it," he said.

'Sanju" also stars Anushka Sharma, Paresh Rawal, Manisha Koirala, Sonam Kapoor, Dia Mirza, Vicky Koirala and Tabu.

"I am a very boring person. I work, go back home and fall asleep. If a film is made, it will be a very existential kind of a film," said the actor.

Ranbir Kapoor doesn't think his life is 'inspiring'' enough for a biopic

Known for his wit, Abhishek Bachchan has been quite active on social media the past few weeks. Whether it is for sharing photos from his upcoming film to sharing the most adorable photo of his wife Aishwarya and himself on their 11th wedding anniversary to shutting down trolls who commented on him staying with his parents- Abhishek has always managed to do things in style and even made his fans laugh. Now, a video of Abhishek dancing with Ranbir Kapoor has been doing the rounds of the internet. 
 
The video is reportedly shot in Singapore where the&nbsp;actors along with other Bollywood celebrities went to play a charity football match. The video has Abhishek and Ranbir breaking into a dance as hit song 'Kaala Chashma' starts playing in the stadium. But with a twist.

Instead of Katrina's signature step to the song, the two actors are seen performing the signature steps of 'Kajrare'. The original Kajare song featured Abhishek along with Aishwarya and Amitabh Bachchan.&nbsp; 
 
Needless to say, the video has gone viral.&nbsp; 
 
The video was shared by one of Abhishek Bachchan's fan clubs. When AB Junior watched it, he commented writing, "Hahaha. Ranbir and I just couldn’t get the steps so we did one that we knew."
