Ranbir Kapoor has grown up watching Sanjay Dutt's films. He has always been mesmerised by Dutt's unique aura. During his teen years, he had a huge poster of his cine idol put up in his room at his Pali Hill home.

Now that the two begin work on Karan Malhotra's Shamshera, RK still looks up to him as his fan, and not as a co-star. Dutt's rough and tough roles in Bollywood always inspired Ranbir, who feels he is fulfilling his dream of working with him, after playing him in Sanju!
