New Delhi: Renowned Indian director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming project Baiju Bawra has been a topic of intense speculation among Bollywood enthusiasts. After the success of Gangubai Kathiawadi, which earned over 100 crores net at the Indian box office, fans eagerly await Bhansali’s next big-screen venture.
Rumors have swirled about the casting, with Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt reportedly being considered for the lead roles. However, according to Kamaal R Khan (KRK), there might be some twists in the tale.
KRK, in his recent revelation, claims that Sanjay Leela Bhansali is carefully observing the box office performance of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani before finalizing the cast for Baiju Bawra. This means Ranveer Singh’s involvement is still not confirmed.
In a surprising turn of events, KRK further asserts that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan had personally approached Bhansali for a role in Baiju Bawra, only to be met with rejection. According to KRK, the master director seems disinterested in casting SRK for the film. Instead, he may consider actors like Hrithik Roshan or Aamir Khan.
Master director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is trying to do casting of his next film #BaijuBawra for last 6 months but he is not able to finalise anyone. #SRK asked SLB to do film with him but SLB doesn’t seem interested to cast SRK in this film. SLB might cast Hrithik or Aamir khan.
