Ranbir Kapoor’s last venture Jagga Jasoos was made with a whopping budget of Rs 131 crore but managed to get only Rs 83 crore of its back. However, despite this massive box office bomb, the cine lovers have their trust vested on Ranbir Kapoor. No one doubts his calibre as an actor. He just needs a well-cooked recipe to prove his mettle in the industry.

According to the brand expert Harish Bijoor, Sanju will mark the beginning of the second inning of Ranbir Kapoor in Bollywood.

“Ranbir is a rare actor and while no one has ever doubted his acting skills, he desperately needs a hit film in his kitty to turn things around for him. Ranbir 2.0 will begin with Sanju. Going by initial reviews, Ranbir 2.0 should have a happier tale to tell,” he said.
