Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani and his team will head for a schedule in New York for Dutt's biopic. "Shooting wise, 60 percent of the film is done. We are starting our next schedule now and will wrap that up by mid-June and after that, we will have another schedule in New York," Hirani said.

About the project, he said, "I am very glad that we are making a film with a lot of positivity and happiness and I feel when you make a film with a lot of joy, you are bound to make a good film and the story of the film is brilliant. Plus, Ranbir Kapoor is looking incredible in the film."

"Whatever you make has to come from either your experiences or from what you have read or seen somewhere. I feel every creation is from your memories. Abhijat Joshi (co-writer) and I especially choose to pick some memories and real life incidents and modify it. We usually pick it from our life and modify it to suit our film," he added.

Hirani said: "Books are really precious. I really like reading.I can't sleep till the time I don't read a book even if it is for 10 minutes. But now I feel that culture is vanishing somewhere. I think books are your friends and books are the best way to get knowledge, stories and to know the world."
