Irrfan Khan and Priyanka Chopra in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Gustakhiyan’?

Irrfan Khan and Priyanka Chopra have worked together in films like ‘7 Khoon Maaf’ and ‘Gunday’ and now, if reports are to be believed then they would next be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much talked-about film ‘Gustakhiyan’. Sanjay Leela Bhansali would be producing this film and not directing. This film is based on the life of Urdu poet Sahir Ludhianvi and his muse, bohemian author Amrita Pritam. The film had been making it to the headlines over the casting, and now, reports suggest that the ace filmmaker has roped in Irrfan and Priyanka to essay the central characters.

A source quoted to Bollywood Hungama, “Irrfan has been on board from the start. He was our first choice and he remains our only choice to play Sahir Ludhianvi.”

With regards to Priyanka, the source said, “With her smouldering sensuality, outgoing personality and husky diction, Priyanka is the perfect fit for Amrita Pritam.” We await for an official confirmation though.
