Sanjay Leela Bhansali puts ‘Baiju Bawra” in backburner – plans next with Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor

Sanjay Leela Bhansali was working on his much-talked about project, ‘Baiju Bawra’, but has put it on hold and instead is making a multi-starrer with Rambir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.

A source close to Bhansali reveals that actors Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are in the running and more actors are expected to join the cast of the movie.

As of now, Bhansali is completing his magnum opus web series ‘Heeramandi’, after which he will concentrate on his next project.

Earlier, reports were rife that SLB had plans to revive ‘Inshallah’. However, this time, he plan to do the film not with Salman Khan but with Shah Rukh Khan. ‘Inshallah’ marks a departure for Sanjay Leela Bhansali into the realm of contemporary cinema, where he ventures into the light-hearted genre of romantic comedy, a significant shift from his customary intense period dramas.

According to reports Bhansali had been engaged in numerous discussions with Shah Rukh Khan over the past few months, delving into a storyline and character that align seamlessly with SRK’s persona. O

Ongoing negotiations aim to secure SRK’s participation in the project, and while he has shown interest, a definitive decision on his involvement is still pending.

It’s always interesting to see what’s next coming from SLB. He started with Manisha Koirala – Salman Khan’s Khamoshi The Musical. But, Bhansali is unstoppable. Be it Baiju Bawara or InshaAllah or any other project, people wait anxiously for his movies.

Bhansali needs 350 crores for his Baiju Bawra vision. When these days many producers talk about 1000 plus crores earnings in their pockets, it is bewildering that Bhansali is not able to get 350 crores for ‘Baiju Bawra’.
