Fans of Salman Khan are extremely excited about his reported upcoming collaboration with Padmaavat director, Sanjay Leela Bhansali. After all, his performance as Sameer in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam still ranks as one of his best. The filmmaker is on an all-time high with superhits like Ram Leela, Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat in his kitty. Salman did a small cameo in Bhansali’s Saawariya, which was 12 years ago. A source has told online news portal DNA, “Sanjay, who is penning the script, has narrated the idea to Salman and he is on board. Though the film isn’t a sequel or a remake, it may be called Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam2. SLB feels that the movie has all the elements that Hum Dil… had. So, the title feels like a natural fit for part two. However, it will have a different story and new characters. An A-list heroine will be cast opposite Salman, but the makers haven’t approached anyone as yet.” We have to see who bags this plum project opposite Salman.
The same source further told the portal, “Salman starts Dabangg 3 in the last week of March. Once he finishes the third instalment of the cop franchise, he will begin work on this project. The movie is being readied for a 2020 release”. Recently, on Karan Johar’s Koffee With Karan, Priyanka Chopra said that she is in talks with Bhansali and everyone is wondering if she’ll come on board for this project. She was the initial choice for Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bharat but quit the project as she wanted to marry Nick Jonas. Stay tuned to BollywoodLife for more scoops and updates!
