It’s finally happening, and nobody is happier about it than Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The filmmaker, who had carried the story of Baiju Bawra in his heart for decades, is ready to give it shape now. It is heard that the period drama, centred on the famed singer, will go on floors in February 2024. Industry insiders say that the auteur has booked out a chunk of dates of Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt from the last week of January.
