Baiju Bawra: Alia Bhatt And Deepika Padukone Leaves Sanjay Leela Bhansali In A Pickle – HERE’S WHY

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is in a pickle, courtesy to Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone, two of Bollywood’s most gifted divas. Both women who have collaborated with the filmmaker are eager to feature in his upcoming film Baiju Bawra, which will star Ranveer Singh. According to reports, although Bhansali was thrilled by Alia’s acting abilities during their first cooperation for Gangubai Kathiawadi, Deepika is attempting to work with the director once more.

According to the reports Alia, who enjoyed the storyline, has told the director to stop seeking any other leading lady because she is ready to appear in the film for nothing. Meanwhile, when SLB contacted Deepika Padukone for Baiju Bawra prior, things didn’t work out due to ads. According to reports, the Bajirao Mastani actress requested equal compensation for Ranveer Singh.

“The Actress for Baiju Bawra is not finalized,” Alia Bhatt is most likely to be considered. After reading the screenplay, she volunteered to shoot the picture for free. Deepika was very enthusiastic about doing Gangubai Kathiawadi as well”, the report stated. “However, at the moment, Bhansali was solely interested in Alia.” Deepika has her mind made up on Baiju Bawra at the moment. She thinks that only she is capable of playing Meena Kumari’s role in the original”, the report continued.

Despite the fact that the gorgeous lady was also interested in playing the main character in Gangubai Kathiyawadi, the 2 States actress landed the part. As a result, Deepika is doing everything she can to secure this role.

On the professional front, to honour the 20th anniversary of his critically acclaimed film Dil Chahta Hai, Farhan Akhtar has launched the road trip drama Jee Le Zaraa. Alia Bhatt will act with Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra in the flick. Meanwhile, Deepika will star alongside Hrithik Roshan in the film Fighter. In the film 83, the actress will also appear alongside her husband Ranveer Singh.
