Looks like Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali has found his leading lady in Alia Bhatt for his next ambitious film Baiju Bawra. The actress seems to have impressed the director to such an extent that this is the second movie she is doing with him. The first being Gangubai Kathiawadi which still awaits release. There were rumors that it was Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone who were SLB’s first choice for the role but that seems to be a mere speculation. Thus the Gully Boy actors are brought on board to recreate their magic. 

 

Ranveer Singh has that madness to portray a role like of Baiju Bawra what Bhansali was looking for so he fit the role perfectly. Alia on the other hand was smitten to be the director’s muse again and was insistent to play the part. She read the script reportedly and went berserk. And the rest they say is history. Alia and Ranveer will also be seen in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.
