Salman Khan confirms a film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Is Deepika Padukone also on board?

Actor Salman Khan has got a packed work line-up. With his Race 3 releasing on June 15, he has Bharat, followed by his Da-Bangg: The Tour Reloaded in the US. The actor also has a dance film with Remo D'Souza titled Dancing Daddy, and the shoot of Colors' show -- Bigg Boss 12, also comprises the list. However, talking to the media lately, the superstar Khan also confirmed another new project.

Salman has given his nod to work on a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. He was shelving details on the films that he's supposed to do in near future when he mentioned an untitled film with Bhansali. He said, "There is no No Entry or Wanted sequel happening. I am doing Bharat, Dabangg 3 and Sher Khan. The Kick 2 script isn't ready at the moment and then there is a dance film with Remo and one Bhansali film when he comes and narrates it. We recently discussed it".

SLB has been wanting to collaborate with Salman since the release of their last film together, Saawariya, released in 2007, in which the actor played a guest role. It is after a decade that the two are working together on a film. Earlier, while conceiving Bajirao Mastani, the director had confirmed that he wanted to make it with Salman himself. However, her Mastani that time, Aishwarya Rai, wasn't very keen to work with the actor and therefore, the project got delayed. Later, when SLB decided to make the film again, he wanted to pair Kareena Kapoor opposite Salman. In fact, the look test of the two had also happened. However, as the fate had it, Bhansali could never make Bajirao Mastani with the actor.

It is also being rumoured that the said film is not a period drama, like Bhansali's most films, and also features Deepika Padukone with Salman.

Both Salman and Bhansali have worked on Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, one of their career's bests. It will be interesting to see what magic does this pair bring up once again on the screens!
