Sanjay Leela Bhansali coming up with Chenab Gandhi

Sanjay Leela Bhansali might turn things around with the help of his good friend Amitabh Bachchan in Chenab Gandhi, though he is aware of the misfortune named Saawariya. Bhansali's this film will be directed by his assistant Vibhu Puri, who worked with him in Saawariya. Here we will see Amitabh playing a relatively unsung patriotic heroes. However, we wonder how Bhansali is feeling about his Saawariya actor Ranbir Kapoor having turned him down for the same film! When contacted, Bhansali confirmed that Chenab Gandhi is a patriotic film starring Amitabh Bachchan. However, he denied that he had asked Ranbir to star in it. However, a friend of Ranbir confirmed and said that Bhansali did ask Ranbir to play a role in Chenab Gandhi. But Ranbir politely turned it down. So why did Ranbir refuse Bhansali? It seems that Chenab Gandhi is a very serious film and there is not much of romance and songs in the film. Hence, Ranbir refused. However, one of Ranbir's friends has a different tale to tell. He said that currently Ranbir has signed several films. He did not have the required dates. Ranbir would have loved to work for Bhansali again, but Bhansali's film goes on the floors around the time when his dates are locked for other assignments. Bhansali added that it was too early to talk about Chenab Gandhi in detail.
