Ranveer Singh finalized for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Baiju Bawra; official announcement to be made soon

Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali has been extremely busy since the last two years with his upcoming film Gangubai Kathiawadi, which was finally completed in June this year. Well, fans are now eagerly waiting to hear more about another one of his much-anticipated projects-- the remake of Baiju Bawra. While initial reports had suggested that Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone will be romancing Ranbir Kapoor in the film, it was recently revealed that the actor was never approached for the project.

For some time last month, Bollywood heartthrob Kartik Aaryan’s name was also linked to the film after he was spotted at the filmmaker’s office. But reports later suggested that neither Ranbir, nor Kartik will headline Baiju Bawra because Bhansali is keen to sign Ranveer Singh for the film. Well, according to the latest report shared by ETimes, the lead star has finally been locked! A source was quoted saying, “It is Ranveer Singh who has been finalised. An official announcement is in the offing, but yes, a few modalities yet remain to be worked out. Probably post all that, Bhansali will declare. But as things stand today, it is Ranveer.”

Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Ranveer Singh are undoubtedly one of the most dynamic filmmaker-actor duos of the Hindi film industry. They have created magic each time they came together in the past for masterpieces like Padmaavat, Bajirao Mastani and Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela. We can only expect another hit on their hands with Baiju Bawra!
