A few weeks ago, speculations were rife that after Padmaavat, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is planning to make a movie with his two favourite Khans, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. While the auteur filmmaker began his innings with Khamoshi: The Musical (1996) and followed it up with Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999), both with Salman, his third directorial Devdas, starred SRK in the title role.
While in the interim, there was news of him teaming up with Salman and SRK for different subjects, nothing materialised. Until these reports of him bringing both the Khans on screen together. Interestingly, Bhansali, who’s known to keep a low profile and not attend many events, was seen having a good time at Salman’s birthday celebrations at the latter’s Panvel farmhouse on Thursday. Now, we hear that the filmmaker is indeed planning a project with the two Khans. “Sanjay is contemplating a subject like Saudagar, in which Salman and Shah Rukh play friends who have a fallout and become sworn enemies, only to let bygones be bygones towards the end of the story to re-unite against a common enemy and for greater good,” says our source, adding, “However, he’s being utmost cautious that it’s not seen as inspired from Subhash Ghai’s 1991 superhit starring Dilip Kumar and Raaj Kumar.”
Well, if SLB cracks it, then it would be interesting to see Salman and SRK do a full-fledged film together after Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam (2002).
