SRK in advanced talks with Sanjay Leela Bhansali for 'age-appropriate role' in romantic film

MUMBAI: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is in advanced talks with filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali for a romance film, where he will be seen in an “age-appropriate” role.

According to a source close to IANS, the filmmaker and actor, who previously worked in the 2002 blockbuster “Devdas”, are now in an advanced stage of talks for the film, where he will be seen in an age-appropriate character, who is over 50-years-old.

As per the source, his character will be going through a rough patch in his career. He will bump into a woman who has a start-up and will fall in love.

He was offered a film earlier, but the superstar rejected. The film was most likely “Inshaallah,” which got shelved after Bollywood superstar Salman Khan backed out.

Talking about Bhansali’s previous film “Devdas” with SRK, the period romantic drama film also stars Aishwarya Rai, Madhuri Dixit, Jackie Shroff, Kirron Kher, Smita Jaykar, and Vijayendra Ghatge.
