‘I Am Indebted To Salman’: Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s dream project, Bajirao Mastani, is all set to release on December 18. Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra starrer Indian historical romance film was meant to be filmed on Salman Khan, who was the first choice of the filmmaker along with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Due to the casting issues, the film, whose script was ready in 2003, was delayed for almost 12 years but Bhansali has no complaints from the Dabangg star.

“Yes, I had wanted Salman but things didn't work out. We share a great bond and I know his good wishes are with me. He's beyond all this, has reached cult status”, he told Mumbai Mirror.  

“Today, I may not be working with him but I am indebted to Salman for all that he's done for me. If there's any reason for him to be upset, it has to do with me and not him. I've got so much love from my actors, including Aishwarya and Shah Rukh”, he added.
