Exclusive: Sanjay Leela Bhansali undecided on his next film!
Despite rumours about the Salman Khan-SRK project, the Padmaavat' filmmaker is not ready to start his new film until the second half of 2019
A few weeks back it was being said that he will collaborate with his two favourite Khans, Salman and Shah Rukh, for a family drama. However, if a source close to the filmmaker is to be believed, all this is mere conjecture as Bhansali has not locked his next project.
"He is reportedly working on three-four subjects and is still deciding between them, the source said. "One of them is on the lines of a friend-turned-foes story for which he supposedly would like to have Salman and SRK on board.
The source added, "He is also believed to be in talks with Priyanka Chopra for an ambitious film based on the life of a female gangster. Apart from that, Bhansali is possibly exploring a Devdas type musical historical and a modern love story too. Everything is in the running as of now and he might just take a decision soon.
The auteur filmmaker apparently wants to start filming his next directorial in the second half of this year. Meanwhile, industry sources say SLB is now busy with his production Malaal which marks the debut of his niece Sharmin Segal and Javed Jeffrey's son Meezan Jaffrey.
Sharmin Segal and Meezan JaffreyBesides that, the filmmaker is also known to have the romcom Tuesdays and Fridays under his banner which introduces Anmol Thakeria Dhillon and Jhataleka Malhotra. It is likely he will start work on his directorial only after both these films have been released in the first half of this year. That's understandable because once his own film goes on the floor, nothing else will happen at SLB's production house till it is done.

So no one guessed right.
He is not doing anything.
