Mumbai, January 17 - Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has reportedly put his musical Baiju Bawra, starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, on hold for the time being. It was supposed to be his next directorial film for the big screen after Alia Bhatt's "Gangubai Kathiawadi" (2022).

According to a report by Pinkvilla, "Baiju Bawra" wouldn't be the immediate next for the maverick filmmaker, and the same has been conveyed to all the talents who were supposed to work on the film. Both Ranveer and Alia had allotted bulk dates for the movie but both of them will now be shifting their focus to other projects.



The report stated that SLB is planning to take his next directorial venture on floors by May/June 2024. SLB's next is said to be a very ambitious story close to his heart and will be the talk of the town once the official announcement is made though the exact details about the casting and other aspects are revealed yet.

Meanwhile, the report further said that SLB is looking to revive "Inshallah" to explore a light-hearted romantic comedy, and is reportedly in talks with superstar Shah Rukh Khan to bring him on board for the same. The duo have met a couple of times over the last few months and SRK is also interested in it.

"Inshallah" could be Bhansali's next directorial as a large part of pre-production work has already been done in the pre-covid times. However, it is all happening in the backside as it is not yet confirmed which will be the director's next film.
