Sanjay Leela Bhansali is excited about his new project that will star Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

He dismisses rumours that he is directing a movie called Heera Mandi with a Pakistani star called Imraan Abbas.

He is truly happy that Bollywood heartthrobs Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are teaming up together for his upcoming Film.

Asked why he cast Hrithik, Sanjay quipped,” Hrithik and I have been wanting to work together for a very long time. I’ve always been impressed by his sincerity as an actor. I was waiting for the right opportunity to sign him. Working with Hrithik would be a new and rewarding experience.”
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has already worked in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Devdas’ and ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ and both the films were successful.
Talking about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan the filmmaker said, “Aishwarya is very special to me. She suits the role in my new film to perfection. When she read the script she was deeply moved. Of course the true friend that she is, she told me she would’ve agreed to work with me even if I didn’t send her the script.”
Asked how he felt after the debacle of Saawariya, he said,” Fearlessness is my biggest asset as a filmmaker. I will continue to make films that come from deep within me. My very first film “Khamoshi: The Musical” didn’t do well at all. A lot of people think it’s my best work.”
Here is wishing the director loads of good luck with this enterprising new project.
