Priyanka Chopra has not starred in a Bollywood film since 2019’s The Sky is Pink. The actress was set to return on the big screen with Jee Le Zaraa, directed by Farhan Akhtar, but the project seems to have been delayed. While fans miss Priyanka in Bollywood, a new report has claimed that the actress is working towards reuniting with Sanjay Leela Bhansali on a new project. If all pans out as per the plan, SLB and Priyanka will work together after almost a decade. They collaborated on Bajirao Mastani.
A source told Hindustan Times recently that Priyanka and Bhansali are in talks for an action film. “She knows there is a lot of curiosity around her next Hindi project and wants to finalise a project soon. She is going through several scripts, and meeting several makers to decide on the same. In fact, she is also meeting Sanjay Leela Bhansali for an action project, set in a different period. She has liked the project, and is meeting Bhansali now to decide on the timeline, schedule and costumes,” the source claimed.
“For Priyanka, the trip to India is purely for work. Along with attending the event in Mumbai, she has several things lined up for. She has back to back meetings in different capacities,” the source said, referring to her recent trip to India.
“She also has a production house, and she has decided to put some focus on the same. She is meeting people to finalise three or four of the next projects under her banner,” the insider added.
Priyanka and Bhansali are yet to react to the report.
Meanwhile, Bhansali is set to release his first OTT project, a series titled Heeramandi. The series stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh and Sharmin Segal. On the other hand, Priyanka has Russo Brothers’ The Bluff and Heads of State in the pipeline.
