Sanjay Leela Bhansali is planning his next, which mounts sets in July. The producer-director has roped in Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to essay the lead roles. There was talk of the director making a multi-starrer Heera Mandi but it isn't in his future plans anymore.
Hrithik and Aishwarya's previous pairings (Dhoom: 2 and Jodhaa Akbar) were quite well received. The director, who went into a shell after Saawariya, expects their lucky streak will continue.
Mandi shelved
An industry reveals, "Sanjay has been trying to get his Heera Mandi off the ground for a long time. Because of the film's sheer magnitude and the hassles of getting an ensemble cast together for a single shooting schedule, he gave up and began penning his next, a romantic feature, earlier this year."
The source continues, "He really liked Hrithik and Aishwarya's chemistry in Jodhaa Akbar. He was looking for a mature on-screen couple to essay the role and they fitted the role to the T. Incidentally, this will be the first time, Bhansali will work with Hrithik."
Waiting for Aish
According to an insider, "Hrithik has signed on the dotted line and even allotted his dates for the shooting, which starts in the second week of July. Aishwarya has heard the script and has liked her part but because she is away shooting for Mani Ratnam's next, she has not been signed on officially. She has confirmed her dates for the movie, though," the source concluded.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali remained unavailable for comment.
