We know that Priyanka Chopra is playing 'Kashibai' in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Bajirao Mastani', which stars Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. PC, who has started shooting for this film, had also tweeted a picture of her donning the royal white saree. Now, buzz is that SLB, who loves to repeat his heroines, may very well be casting Priyanka for his next venture.
Mid-Day reports a source as saying, "Priyanka has just started shooting for Bajirao Mastani and on one of the days, Bhansali discussed quite a few things with her, including the response to Mary Kom and her role as Kashibai in his current film. He also briefed her about another film that he is planning, which is going to be an intense love story. Priyanka liked the idea and has agreed to be part of the film. However, rest of the cast is yet to be finalised."
Apparently SLB's spokesperson also commented on the news saying, "It is too early to talk about it. He has liked Priyanka's work in their past two films and has offered her his next."
Priyanka performed for an item number in SLB's Ram-leela. She also worked on the SLB production directed by Omung Kumar - 'Mary Kom' which won her many accolades.
So, as per the news SLB's next is for Priyanka and not for his heroine of Ram-leela and Bajirao Mastani, Deepika Padukone. Are you excited about this one?
