Sushant Singh Rajput and Priyanka Chopra to feature in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next

Heartthrob of Television Sushant Singh Rajput, who entered Bollywood with a successful Kai Po che, seems to be the director’s favourite when it comes to biopics. Sushant who donned the hat of a detective in Dibakar Banerjees last “Dectective Byomkesh Bakshi” is now gearing up to become Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni in his biopic which would be directed by Neeraj Pandey and well that’s not all. There’s yet another biopic that has fallen into his kitty.

If sources are to be believed then Sanjay Leela Bhansali has finalised this handsome hunk to play the role of legendry poet Sahir Ludhianvi in his next film and guess who’s his leading lady? A beautiful actress who became Bollywood’s Mary Kom and now set to become Kashibai in Bajirao Mastani. Yes, it’s Priyanka Chopra. Sanjay Leela Bhansali wants Priyanka Chopra to essay the role Sahir Ludhianvi’s love interest Amrita Pritam in his biopic. A refreshingly exciting pair, indeed!

For the first time Sushant Singh Rajput and Priyanka Chopra would be seen sharing the screen space. As of now Priyanka is busy with her international series Quantico and her Bollywood film “Bajirao Mastani” which is again a Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial and is set to release on December 18, 2015.
