Deepika Padukone wants to work in Bhansali’s ‘Ram Leela’

Mumbai: Looks like Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Ram Leela’ is going the ‘Heroine’ way – it is becoming Controversy’s favourite child.

Bhansali had wanted Kareena Kapoor to play the lead in the film. But when he realised that by the time the shoot starts, she might be a married woman, he decided to drop her from the project.

And since then, the likes of Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone have been in news over ‘Ram Leela’.

Deepika, who is still basking in the success of her latest ‘Cocktail’, has shown interest in working with Bhansali.

The actress, while talking to a media house said, “It would be like a dream come true to work with him. If he`s looking at me for Ram Leela, I`m most certainly looking forward to working in it. The way his heroines` roles are written, is incredible.”

Veroinca helped Deepika gain recognition as an actress. But it will be interesting to see if Leela can transform her into an ace.

Here’s wishing luck to Dippy!

Is Sanjay Leela Bhansali miffed with Ekta Kapoor?

Sources say that the filmmaker is irritated with the spoofs on 'Devdas' in 'Kya Super Kool Hain Hum'

 Ekta Kapoor’s upcoming comedy sequel has pulled a spoof on several films. But looks like the makers have now rubbed Sanjay Leela Bhansali the wrong way with their act on Devdas. Apparently, the filmmaker is not at all amused with this antic.

A source informs us, “Ekta’s upcoming film with Tusshar, Neha Sharma and Sarah Jane is a spoof on Bhansali with the song Dil dola re dola playing in the background. When the director learnt about it, he was not amused.

 Now the same is being used in the promos of the film and Bhansali is very irritated. It is a known fact that he does not take kindly to his films being ridiculed. Earlier too he was very upset with Rohit Shetty for making fun of him and his films in the Golmaal series.”

Ekta Kapoor says, “A spoof is the best form of flattery. We’ve spoofed as many as five films including The Dirty Picture; so Devdas is no exception. And everyone knows that it’s all in light jest. I don’t think Sanjay will be upset.”
