Earlier there were reports of Ranbir Kapoor saying no to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s proposed musical love story Baiju Bawra. However according to a source close to Bhansali productions has denied the reports saying “Ranbir has not been offered Baiju Bawra. The only time Ranbir turned down a role in a Bhansali film was when he was offered Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai starrer Guzaarish. Bhansali offered him the role that was eventually played by Aditya Roy Kapur.”
According to the source it is in fact Ranveer Singh who will be playing titular role in Baiju Bawra “It is Ranveer Singh who was being seriously considered for the part. Bhansali’s focus was on the casting of Heera Mandi. But now since erroneous information on the male casting of Baiju Bawra was being leaked out, Bhansali has decided to announce Ranveer Singh in the ambitious grand musical’s title role,” the source revealed.
