Shah Rukh Khan in Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani?

After waiting for 14 whole years to take off, things seem to be looking up for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's much awaited project 'Bajirao Mastani'.

In fact, reports suggest that the filmmaker has even roped in biggie Shah Rukh Khan for the lead role in his historical drama that follows the life of Peshwa Bajirao and his love Mastani. And while Deepika Padukone might play the role of Mastani, Katrina Kaif will reportedly play Bajirao's wife Kashibai. 

Bhansali first announced the project back in '99, when it also faced its first roadblock. His then lead pair Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai had broken off, and Bhansali was left with Aishwarya Rai whom he later considered replacing with Kareena Kapoor. But that didn't happen either.

After Ram-Leela, Bhansali has now finally started pre-production work on the film - something the film needs a lot of reportedly - and is gearing up to complete the much delayed film.
