Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Kareena Kapoor Khan in Talks for New Film After Long Rift
Sanjay Leela Bhansali has reportedly approached Kareena Kapoor Khan to play the female lead in his upcoming film starring Dhanush, potentially ending their professional fallout dating back to the early 2000s. Kareena was initially considered for Devdas but lost the role to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, leading to a long-standing rift. While Kareena has expressed interest, no official confirmation has been made, and discussions on terms are ongoing. This collaboration would mark their first joint project.
