Bollywood filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali is riding high on the success of his last release Gangubai Kathiawadi. The film has brought into focus, his collaboration with actor Ajay Devgn once again after 23 years. The Padmaavat director is now keen on the Tanhaji actor signing his next film Baiju Bawra too. As per sources, Bhansali credits the success of Gangubai also to Devgn and wants him to essay the role of Tansen in his next. 

 

This will be the second collaboration between Ajay and Alia Bhatt who is playing the female lead in Baiju Bawra. The film will also have Ranveer Singh as the male lead. Devgn’s character will have shades of grey, and as per Bhansali, only Ajay could pull off a role like that. The De De Pyaar De actor is yet to sign on the dotted line though. Ajay and SLB first collaborated together in the Aishwarya Rai starrer Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Apart from this film, Ajay also has Maidaan and Runway 34 up for release soon.
