Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is busy giving final touches to his upcoming film 'Gangubai Kathiawadi'. He's going to be quite busy after wrapping it up as he already has plans for couple of films in future. He has plans to reunite with Shahrukh Khan for a romantic epic titled 'Izhaar' but the reports suggest that the director will work on his dream project 'Baiju Bawra' before 'Izhaar'. The buzz also suggests that the he is going to approach frequent collaborator, Deepika Padukone for a role in the film.

A source close to the development told Pinkvilla, “Ever since Bhansali decided to revisit Baiju Bawra, he was clear on getting Deepika on board the film to play the role of dacoit queen, Roopmati, from the 1952 original. Both Deepika and SLB have done multiple meetings to discuss the film and the character and the talks are in the advanced stage at the moment. The paperwork is yet to be done and things will be locked once both the stakeholders mutually agree on certain aspects. Given the way things are proceeding at the moment, it's going to be a yes from DP."

The film is being planned as a star studded affair since Bhansali wants to leave no stone unturned to make his dream project really grand and epic.
