'Sanju' an attempt to whitewash Dutt's image: RSS magazine
Criticising Sanjay Dutt's biopic 'Sanju', 'Panchjanya', a magazine published by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) wrote the film is an attempt to whitewash Dutt's image. The magazine described Dutt as someone who had "ties with religious fundamentalists, stored arms at his residence [and] kept links with mafia dons." It reportedly also slammed Rajkumar Hirani for projecting Dutt as a "role model".
