We all know that Bajirao Mastani is Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s long forbidden dream. When the project came in his mind, he wanted to repeat the pairing of his hit film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.
But his efforts went in vain as by that time Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan split had taken place and the latter announced she won’t be working with her HDDCS co-star in future. And now it has been nearly a decade but still SLB is unable to start the film.
In these 10 years, there has been extensive reporting on this movie, and so has SLB's wish-list for his lead players to play Bajirao. After Sallu-Ash break-up, he had wanted his original favourite Salman Khan as the lead actor and Kareena Kapoor to play Mastani. But Salman who was dating Katrina Kaif had insisted he consider Kat instead of Bebo.
Later on post Black, there was talk of SLB wanting the Bachchans for this dream historical project and then there was speculation that he may even consider Shahrukh Khan for the role of Bajirao. The latest card that has been opened in this drama reveals that SLB is reportedly in talks with Ajay Devgn, the other leading man of HDDCS for the role of the famous Peshwa.
And of course we also hear that Kat, who now speaks Hindi adeptly, may be Mastani. And Salman is nowhere in the picture this time!
