"Construction will begin after the final dates are locked."
The shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Baiju Bawra will begin in mid-2023, shared a source close to the development on February 22, 2023.
The source added: “Since the subject is very close to Mr Bhansali, he has been working on it for a long time, and has already created a strong script for the film.
“However, prep from the shooting perspective has also begun, as he plans to take Baiju Bawra on floors from mid this year.
“June or July is what they are looking at.
“Requests for his actors’ dates have already gone to them.
“A large portion of the film will be shot on sets in Mumbai, and construction will begin after the final dates are locked.”
The film will star Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh in the lead roles.
Further, this will be Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh’s third project together after Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy and Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.
Baiju Bawra will also reunite the Darlings actor with Sanjay Leela Bhansali after Gangubai Kathiawadi.
At the same time, this will be the filmmaker’s fourth project with Ranveer after Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, Bajirao Mastani, and Padmaavat.
Meanwhile, Sanjay Leela Bhansali recently unveiled the first look of his Netflix-backed web show – Heeramandi.
Giving a glimpse of the main characters, Netflix took to Instagram to share a brief clip.
The video begins with a closer glimpse of the actors, Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sharmin Segal, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Shaikh, and Sonakshi Sinha.
Sonakshi, the only person standing amongst them, is seen doing a salaam and looking at the camera.
The clip was shared with the caption: “Another time, another era, another magical world created by Sanjay Leela Bhansali we can’t wait to be a part of.
“Here is a glimpse into the beautiful and intriguing world of #Heeramandi. Coming soon!”
At the launch event, the filmmaker talked about his ambitious project for a digital platform.
“I make big films and that comes naturally to me.
“But when I came to OTT I made something bigger, it’s my biggest project yet.
“So I didn’t have to adapt to the digital medium, this will be like watching a film.
“So there is no holding back or trying to do something different for OTT.”
“I made eight episodes for this, and it’s so demanding, I am constantly working on the script.
“You have to spend more hours than you do for films, but all of us are truly enjoying it a lot.”
