After providing a launchpad to Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor in his film Saawariya in 2007, acclaimed filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali is all set to launch another star kid. The award-winning filmmaker is now gearing up to give a break to the veteran actress' Poonam Dhillon and filmmaker Ashok Thakeria's son, Anmol Thakeria.
According to reports, Bhansali will launch Anmol Thakeria in one of his forthcoming projects. If insiders are to be believed, it is the same project which was earlier offered to Shahid Kapoor. But when Shahid turned down the offer, the makers roped in Anmol.
A source close to the development also reveals that Anmol has had a number of meetings with Bhansali over the past month to discuss the project. Now, the team is looking for an actress, though Kiara Advani's name is being tossed around.
"Anmol returns from his holiday today. Details about the project will be clearer once he is back in town. The film is expected to kick off next year," adds the source.
Anmol, who has studied in a college in London for two years, is currently on a vacation in London with close friend Harshvardhan Kapoor. "He has trained in acting at Anupam Kher's academy and has learnt dance from Shaimak Davar," adds the source.
We are waiting for an official announcement from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's team.
