NEW DELHI: Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor who is playing the titular role in Sanjay Dutt's biopic is currently busy shooting for the film. Few days back media reports surfaced saying that Ranbir along with the film's crew and cast visited Bhopal Jail and now the actor will stay in jail for a sequence of the film.

Well the truth is, a set has been put up in old central jail of Bhopal to shoot the part which shows Sanjay Dutt in Yerwada Jail. Apart from giving a realistic view in the Rajkumar Hirani helmed film, this jail has been selected because cells here have no prisoners. On a related note, Sanjay Dutt was sentenced to five years imprisonment for possession of illegal arms in 1993 Mumbai blasts case.

The actor who underwent a rigorous training to bulk up like Sanjay Dutt is working really hard for an impressive performance. The biopic will cover the actor's life ranging from his Bollywood debut to his conviction and imprisonment. The film will have Paresh Rawal as Sunil Dutt, Manisha Koirala as Nargis, Sonam Kapoor as Sanjay Dutt's love interest and Anushka Sharma might be seen as a journalist.

Meanwhile, Sanjay Dutt, 57, is back to work and has started shooting for Omung Kumar's Bhoomi, starring Aditi Rao Hydari as his daughter. Sanjay and Rajkumar Hirani will also come together for the third instalment of the 'Munnabhai' franchise.
