Sanjay Leela Bhansali is all set to launch not one but two debutants in his forthcoming film. Earlier it was known that veteran actress Poonam Dhillon and producer Ashok Thakeria's son Anmol will be launched as the lead in Bhansali's next. Now, the news comes in that former Miss India Jhataleka Malhotra (2014 Winner), will be debuting alongside Anmol.

The action-romance is titled Tuesdays and Fridays and is being directed by Taranveer Singh. Anmol who is making his debut with the film has already left for London to shoot the 33-day schedule. A leading daily reported that the film has four young actors; Anmol’s character is called Varun, while Jhataleka plays Sia. Reem Sheikh features as Tanya and Ibrahim Chaudhary plays Shawan. The film has already started rolling and the actors have been shooting at Pitch Stratford, an open-air theatre in London.

According to reports, the four actors are filming a song choreographed by Kruti Mahesh (Deewani Mastani of Bajirao Mastani fame) which is their introductory track in the film. The next schedule of the film will kick off in September when the team will commence shooting in Mumbai. Anmol had been prepping for the film for a year now, which included training in martial arts and dance. Bhansali will not be turning director for Anmol and Jhataleka’s film but would be producing it under his banner.

As reported by the daily, Anmol’s role was initially offered to Shahid Kapoor but he turned down the film. Bhansali’s last film Padmaavat starring Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh attained critical acclaim and box office success. It became one of the most profitable films of the year and was loosely based on the epic poem by Malik Muhammad Jayasi.
