SCOOP: Sanjay Leela Bhansali looking for fresh ideas from young, talented writers for his next
Bollywood Hungama has learned that he has started working on his next and is looking for a change from grand period dramas that he’s known for. A source told us, “SLB wants to tell a modern tale. He wants fresh ideas and hence, he’s looking for scripts written by young, talented writers. Once he locks the idea, the casting and other processes will follow.”
The source added, “Though the concept will be contemporary and it’ll be set in modern times, it’ll surely have Sanjay Leela Bhansali stamp all over. It’ll also be an ambitious project and rich in emotions and music. In short, it’ll be an ideal Sanjay Leela Bhansali entertainer that people expect from him.”
The industry is confident that the film will generate tremendous interest among actors and others in the industry. An insider commented, “Almost all actors desperately want to work with Mr Sanjay Leela Bhansali as he gets the best out of artists. His track record has also been encouraging in the last 11 years as a director. The announcement of this film will surely be something to watch out for.”
