Ranbir Kapoor opts out of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Baiju Bawra, will Kartik Aaryan fill his shoes?

One project that we have been looking forward eagerly was Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Baiju Bawra. The fact that SLB is directing it makes it interesting, and then there's also Ranbir Kapoor in the equation. And who wouldn't want to see the Saawariya director-actor duo together? But looks like fans would be disappointed with the news we are sharing.

The reason is that Ranbir seems to have backed out of the project! Yes, you read that right. According to a source quoted by Bollywood Hungama, "Ranbir has expressed his confusion to Bhansali and the team as well. He is not sure of Baiju Bawra and with another Dharma project in his kitty; RK doesn't seem to be keen anymore on working with SLB again. Not many know that he did not have a great experience working with him during Saawariya and they have never done a film after that. So it's most likely that Ranbir is going to opt-out of the project, although nothing was ever locked on papers." 

Whoa, that's quite a shocker. If you are wondering whether Kartik Aryan would fill in Ranbir's shoes and play the lead in the film, we have an answer for that too. The same source said, "Kartik's visits to SLB's office are just regular pleasantry meets. There has been no offer made to him, yet."

Who do you think will be a good fit to play Baiju Bawra? Let us know in the comments.
