Priyanka Chopra’s recent visit to India has surprised everyone with her pictures of Nick Jonas and baby Malti from Ayodhya. However, amidst the personal updates, fans are eager to know about her professional projects. The latest reports suggest that Priyanka is in talks for a film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, known for creating captivating worlds. This collaboration might indicate a new professional update for Priyanka, potentially leaving her previously discussed film, Jee Le Zara, with Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif, on hold. Currently, Alia is preparing for her next project, Love & War, with Bhansali.
The potential collaboration between Priyanka Chopra and Sanjay Leela Bhansali is intriguing, given their history of highs and lows in their professional journeys. According to a source, Priyanka is meeting Bhansali for an action project set in a different period. She has shown interest in the project and is discussing the timeline, schedule, and costumes with Bhansali.
It is worth noting that Priyanka was previously supposed to work with Bhansali on a film titled Gustaakhiyan, alongside Abhishek Bachchan. The film was said to be a biopic of Sahir Ludhiyanvi, but Priyanka eventually walked out of the project.
In the past, Priyanka Chopra was considered for the lead role in Ram Leela after Kareena Kapoor Khan’s exit. However, Deepika Padukone ended up being cast in the film. Despite some difficulties in their professional relationship, Priyanka remained professional and even performed on the title track of the film, showing her support for Bhansali. She later shone in Bajirao Mastani, where her portrayal of Kashibai was highly acclaimed.
After Ram Leela, Bhansali had promised Priyanka a full-fledged film, Gangubai. However, when Inshallah, which was supposed to star Priyanka, got shelved, Bhansali felt guilty about locking Alia Bhatt’s dates and gave the role to her instead. Interestingly, Priyanka was also supposed to do a song for Inshallah, but due to her exit from Bharat with Salman Khan, the collaboration did not happen.
Now, it seems that Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Priyanka Chopra are ready to create a new cinematic world together with an action film, a genre in which Priyanka has excelled in the past. Fans eagerly await the magic that will unfold on the screen.
