Producer
Su familia quiere casarla y un escritor prometedor la pretende, pero esta joven punjabí lucha por revelar lo que esconde su corazón.
Sanju
Producer
Pocas vidas en nuestros tiempos son tan dramáticas y enigmáticas como la saga de Sanjay Dutt. Procedente de una familia de leyendas del cine, él mismo se convirtió en una estrella de cine, y luego vio alturas vertiginosas y profundidades más oscuras: adulación de fanáticos acérrimos, batallas interminables con diversas adicciones, roces con el inframundo, penas de prisión, pérdida de seres queridos, y inquietante especulación de que podría o no ser un terrorista. Sanju es a su vez una exploración hilarante y desgarradora de la batalla de un hombre contra su propio ser salvaje y las formidables fuerzas externas que intentan aplastarlo. Representa el viaje de un hombre a través de todo lo que la vida puede arrojar sobre él. Algunas historias verdaderas te dejan pensando "¿esto realmente sucedió?" Esta es una historia increíble que sucede que es verdad.
