When they met last to create something special on celluloid, they ended up creating the magnum opus that Devdas was. Since that movie Shah Rukh Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali have not worked together. But now the two are likely to come together to give the cine-goers something really special.  SRK we hear opts for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period drama. After tasting success with Bajirao Mastani and Padmavaat, SLB, we hear is excited to do yet another period drama.

Interestingly, it was insinuated that Shah Rukh Khan was more inclined to do  Rakesh Sharma's biopic. A secret birdie had chirped to us that Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan had suggested SRK to Sharma for this unique project. But now we hear that Shah Rukh is more keen on doing a film with Sanjay Leel Bhansali.

"Not many know that Shah Rukh and Bhansali have been in talks for long. During a recent meeting, the director narrated his script to him. It is a fictional love story with a period setting. While Shah Rukh has given his nod in principle, the project is facing a roadblock by way of its female lead. Though the names of a few leading ladies are being thrown around, Bhansali is yet to zero in on an actress," quoted a source as saying to the popular daily Mid Day.

We gather that Shah Rukh is currently busy with his next Zero where he is playing  dwarf. We are keen to know how quickly will he finish the project and be roped in for SLB's film! Till then you can suggest us a name or two of the apt actress who would you like to see romancing the King Khan!
