SRK Salman and Deepika In SLB's Next

According to those sources, it's a two-hero one-heroine film, and word is that Bhansali has committed to Deepika Padukone that she will be his leading lady. It might be worth remembering that the filmmaker had dropped his plans to cast Kareena Kapoor in Ram-Leela after she made it clear she wasn't going to hold off her marriage for the sake of the role. When Kareena tied the knot with Saif, Bhansali replaced her with Deepika and the trusted date issues' excuse was cited for Bebo's exit from the project.

Deepika, who has remained the filmmaker's muse since Ram-Leela(and over three films now) is only committed to one film at the moment: Raazi director Meghna Gulzar's true-life story of acid-attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. That film goes into production early next year and is expected to wrap before Bhansali begins rolling the cameras on his project.
