A couple of months ago, Bollywood was buzzing with rumours that ace filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who last helmed Padmaavat (2018), was considering to rope in superstars Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan in his next directorial venture.
Months later, the same rumours are back to hit headlines once again. If reports are to be believed, Bhansali is planning to work with Salman and Shah Rukh in his next film, which is being made along the lines of Subhash Ghai’s 1991 blockbuster Saudagar.
"Sanjay is contemplating a subject like Saudagar, in which Salman and Shah Rukh play friends who have a fallout and become sworn enemies, only to let bygones be bygones towards the end of the story to reunite against a common enemy and for the greater good,” a source reveals.
The source goes on to add, "However, he is being utmost cautious that it’s not seen as inspired from Subhash Ghai’s 1991 superhit starring Dilip Kumar and Raaj Kumar.”
Well, it has been more than a decade since Shah Rukh and Salman have not done a full-fledged film together. If Sanjay Leela Bhansali manages to cast them together in his next directorial venture, it will be nothing less than a casting coup of sort.
Talking about the female lead, there were rumours that Anushka Sharma was approached by Bhansali. However, the actress issued a statement and cleared that she was never approached by the acclaimed filmmaker.
