Sanjay Leela Bhansali weaves magic with his ostentatious sets, beautiful stories and charismatic chemistry from his actors.
He reportedly has the most interesting casting combination lined up for one of his next – Baiju Bawra!
A source informed Pinkvilla, that Ranbir Kapoor has been roped in as one of the male leads. And what’s even more juicy, is that the heartthrob will be seen romancing his current ladylove Alia Bhatt as well as his ex-flame Deepika Padukone in the movie!
RK will be reuniting with the Saawariya director and we absolutely can’t keep calm! The story reportedly revolves around four characters; two heroes and two heroines. While SLB is going for the dream female team with Alia and Deepika, we wonder who the second male lead will be?
Pinkvilla report states – “It’s a story of four characters – two heroes and two heroines. For both the heroines, SLB has decided to go with his current favourites Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt. He has narrated the script to both of them and they have both loved their parts. In all probabilities, Alia will be paired opposite Ranbir’s Baiju in the film, stepping into Meena Kumari’s shoes from the original.
Deepika will play the other female lead, that of dacoit Roopmati essayed by Kuldip Kaur in the 1952 drama. Both the actors will be Ranbir’s romantic interests in the period saga and have shown a keen interest in the project. If this materialises, this will be a big casting coup for sure.”
The source further added, “The movie revolves around the characters of Baiju and Tansen and the conflict between the two. For Baiju’s character, Ranbir has almost been finalised. The paperwork is yet to be done but SLB has already discussed the film with the actor and he’s liked the script. For Tansen’s role, they need a much older actor and they are already in talks with two big superstars to come on board.”
These new developments have already sent our hearts racing! Sparks are gonna fly for sure. Team Alia or Team Deepika… which one are you?
