Sanjay Leela Bhansali
, who has been basking in the success of
Bajirao Mastani
has been gearing up to do his next, “
Padmavati
” with
Deepika Padukone
as the queen and
Ranveer Singh
as Alauddin Khilji. As per the reports, the filmmaker is cautious on Padmavati, as the debacle of
Mohenjo Daro
by
Hrithik Roshan
reminds him to be careful. Moreover, he wants to be more careful, as he suffered from the protests by the Marathi audiences against certain creativities by him to the story. So, Sanjay has been doing a clean research on the original story, before filming it. Sanjay Leela Bhansali was little confused with the star cast, right from the beginning. He was about to cast
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
as the lead. Then, he settled with Deepika. When Shah Rukh Khan turned down the offer to pair Deepika, the next confusion started. As per the reports
Shahid Kapoor
and Hrithik Roshan has been approached for the role of King. Let us wait and watch, who joins Deepika!
