Ranbir Kapoor, on August 15, visited filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali's office in Juhu, Mumbai, with ladylove Alia Bhatt. While it was then being said that the actor was there for lunch with his Saawariya director as Alia discussed about resuming the shoot of Gangubai Kathiawadi which was stalled due to the Coronavirus pandemic. However, rumours are floating that the meet was not only for lunch.
The gossip mill has it that Ranbir will be playing the titular role in Bhansali's upcoming musical drama Baiju Bawra. PeepingMoon.com, in an exclusive dated November 11, 2019, informed that Ranveer Singh is Bhansali's Baiju Bawra who challenges Tansen (Ajay Devgn) to a musical duel to avenge his father’s murder. Well, as the director is yet to confirm the cast, Ranbir's name is the latest one to be heard based on his frequent visits to SLB's office.
Before making his Bollywood debut in 2007's Saawariya co-starring Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, Ranbir was the Assistant Director on Sanjay's film Black. Since then, for 13 years, the actor and filmmaker haven't gotten a chance to collaborate. With rumours surfacing that Ranbir is readying to step into Bharat Bhushan's shoes, we wonder what surprise will Bhansali spring up this time.
