Fawad Khan and Parineeti Chopra to act in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Gustakhiyan’?

Actors Fawad Khan and Parineeti Chopra are probable to share screen space soon as the makers of Gustakhiyaan have approached them for the movie, which is apparently based on the lives of poet-lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi and writer Amrita Pritam.

Sources told that the makers have zeroed in on the two actors after much deliberation. But, there is no official statement on the development. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ambitious project has been on the anvil since some time now but the makers have failed to finalise the right cast for the movie.

Previously, names of Priyanka Chopra and Irrfan Khan were doing the rounds for the lead roles. While Priyanka could not take up the project due to unavailability of dates, the makers of the movie felt that Irrfan would not suit the younger version of the poet-lyricist's character, which will age from his early 20s to his early 50s.

In the meantime, Parineeti is currently shooting for Meri Pyaari Bindu, while Fawad will be next seen in Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.

Kareena and Sanjay Leela Bhansali to collaborate first time for 'Gustakhiyaan'?

After numerous failed attempts to team up with ace director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Kareena Kapoor Khan is unlikely to let go of the opportunity this time around.

Kareena has missed chances to work with Bhansali on more than one occasion including his last film Bajirao Mastani. We have learnt Kareena and Bhansali have met a few times and she has expressed a keen interest to work in his next production Gustakhiyaan.

With Sanjay Leela Bhansali's latest collaborators Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra busy with their Hollywood commitments, the role might fall in Kareena's lap. It will be interesting to see the pairing of Kareena with actor Irrfan Khan for the first time.
