SLB wants to screen ‘Padmavati’ at Cannes 2017?

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is apparently getting set to shoot his next elaborate project, ‘Padmavati’. News has it that the filmmaker might be aiming for the film to be screened at next year’s Cannes Film Festival.

The period drama is reportedly going to star Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. A source told Box Office India, “After finalising the cast, Bhansali has been meeting the actors to discuss their characters in detail and monitor their prep. The work on music and other departments had begun long ago. His target is to wrap up the film as soon as possible and screen it at Cannes”.

“Padmavati�۪ has managed to create a lot of buzz for its subject as well as casting. This project is close to Bhansali�۪s heart and so, he wants to have a grand launch. He is trying to finish shooting and post production by May,” continued to source.

Bhansali struck gold at the box office and with audiences with his last film ‘Bajirao Mastani’ (2015) and it seems he wants to recreate the magic again.
