Sanjay Leela Bhansali considering Aishwarya Rai over Rekha in ‘Heera Mandi’

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has completed 25 years in the Indian film industry. He is known for his films like ‘Devdas’, ‘Bajirao Mastani’, ‘Padmaavat’. Recently he announced his upcoming series, ‘Heeramandi’ with Netflix. Earlier, it was reported that he is considering Rekha as the main lead. Now, the recent reports state that he is opting for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for it.

According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, “It is the same part for which Rekha was being considered. But it is believed Rekha has become difficult to direct over the years. Bhansali’s enthusiasm to sign Rekha was considerably dampened by her treatment of director Abhishek Kapoor during the making of ‘Fitoor’ when Rekha had to be dropped overnight and replaced by Tabu. Rather than face such problems, Sanjay has dropped the idea of casting Rekha and may opt for Aishwarya instead.”

An official announcement is yet to be made.

Previously, Sanjay Bhansali and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan worked together in ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam,’ ‘Devdas,’ and ‘Guzaarish.’
