There were reports that Dutt was avoiding Ranbir.
When asked about this, Hirani told reporters, "No, nothing like that. Ranbir often spends time with Sanju. He just said it as a joke while laughing. He softly jokes a lot."
The film will feature Ranbir as Dutt, a task which the "Tamasha" actor recently said was "difficult." The film is scheduled to go on floors next month.
Hirani was speaking at a special screening of "Dangal" here last night.
"I had already seen it once, Aamir showed it to me. It is a very beautiful film. I have come to watch it again and will also go for the movie again with my team," Hirani said.
Starring Aamir Khan, "Dangal" hit the screens today.
