Sanjay Leela Bhansali starts working on his next 'Padmavati'!

We had informed that Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is known for making larger-than-life flicks, will work on a film based on Queen Padmavati of Chittor and Sultan Alauddin Khilji's obsessive desire for her and we have overheard that Bhansali has started working on the script of the film.

Sources close to the filmmaker claim that Bhansali started his research on Khilji and Padmavati and met historians to collect information about the two before starting to work on the script of the movie. As of now, we have learned that Bhansali will be teaming up with his blue-eyed boy Ranveer Singh for the movie and that Padmavati might be played by his ladylove Deepika Padukone.

Padmavati is slated to release by December next year.
