Abhishek Bachchan Is Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s First & Last Choice To Play Poet Sahir Ludhianvi: Report

New Delhi: It seems Sanjay Leela Bhansali has put an end to the speculation of who will enact the role of Sahir Ludhianvi in his ambitious project on the poet-thinker-reformer. Abhishek Bachchan was pencilled in to play the coveted role. But since then many caste changes had been suggested in various sections of the press. Names like Farhan Akhtar and Irfan Khan cropped up as potential on-screen Sahir Ludhianvi.

But now, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has made his stand clear.

The film is very much on. It will be going on the floors sometime in 2023. Said Sanjay Bhansali, “Sahir will be made only with Abhishek, and no other actor,” as reported in Entertainment Times.

Priyanka Chopra was offered the role of Sahir Ludhianvi’s muse Amrita Pritam. She had suggested any other actor other than Abhishek Bachchan to play the eponymous part. Bhansali politely but firmly stood by his casting of Sahir, the report added.
