Padmaavat starring Deepika Padukone,
Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh had a
tough time before the film finally hit theatres
on the Republic Day weekend. But all's well
that ends well as the film is doing
fantastically well at the box-office.
But Bhansali is no mood to rest on his
laurels as he has already begun work on his
next film. The filmmaker who is known for
capturing larger than life frames on the big
screen is going to make yet another big-
budget film after Padmaavat. According to
Deccan Chronicle report, the producers who
were supportive and stood by
Bhansali's side during tough times are keen
to back his next film as well. SLB is planning
his next film in collaboration with Viacome
18 Motion pictures yet again and will be a
true blue Bhansali film. The report quoted a
source saying, "It will be yet another big-
budgeted musical epic. Bhansali can't think
small even when his films have been
designed as modestly budgeted as Black
and Guzaarish were, they have turned out to
be massive in scale. Ideally,
after Padmaavat, Bhansali would like to do
something smaller. But he can't. Viacom is
already looking at a budget of
approximate Rs 150 crore to Rs 175 crore
for their next film with Sanjay.
It' will be interesting to see if the filmmaker
will opt for his favourite stars Deepika
Padukone and Ranveer Singh for the third
time around.
Released on January 25
2018, Padmaavat has already crossed 100
crore mark in less than 5 days of its release.
The film has also crossed 2 million mark
in Austalia to become the third Indian film to
achieve that record after Baahubali 2 and
PK.
DNA AfterHrs sources earlier said
that Bhansali is grateful to the Censor Chief,
Prasoon Joshi for passing the film with the
required modifications, to the police for
protecting the theatres that are playing the
film, to the press for batting for him and
finally to the members of his own fraternity
who have come forward to stand by him
during his most-trying period.
