Bollywood’s A-listers Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, and Vicky Kaushal are reportedly going to star in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming movie. According to recent reports, the acclaimed filmmaker, known for his larger-than-life period dramas, is taking a refreshing detour into modern romance with this upcoming blockbuster.
“An original love story”: Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next film starring Alia Bhatt & Ranbir Kapoor
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known for his grandiose and visually stunning period dramas. However, this time, he is veering into a different territory—a modern-day love story that promises to captivate audiences with its freshness and originality. Contrary to speculations, Pinkvilla clarified that this project has no connection to the previously shelved film, Inshallah.
According to a recent report, a source close to the development shares insights into Bhansali’s creative shift. They stated, “Sanjay Leela Bhansali has been very keen to take a step back from the period dramas with an intense tone. He has been looking to make a love story, and this subject has been at the back of his mind for a while now. SLB feels this is the best time to make a love story and is very excited to tap this genre.”
The filmmaker has found his leading duo in Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. According to the source, “Both Ranbir and Alia heard the narration and loved what they heard.” While Alia has reportedly officially signed the dotted lines, negotiations with Ranbir are reportedly in the advanced stages.
The storyline revolves around the intricacies of two couples. Furthermore, discussions are underway with Vicky Kaushal to play a pivotal role. The source reveals, “Vicky is of course excited to come on board SLB’s film and is figuring out his dates for the later part of the year. Once the dates are sorted, he will sign the dotted lines. Vicky has loved the subject.”
The anticipated collaboration is expected to go on the floors in November 2024. After all, the trio gears up to commence shooting for the same.
