Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali announced ‘Baiju Bawra’ in 2019.

It is based on the revenge story of a maverick maestro. Bhansali’s film is reportedly the remake of a 1952 musical megahit of the same name starring Meena Kumari, Bharat Bhushan, and Surendra. The plot of the original film revolves around the tale of a common man Baiju, who is on a mission to defeat Tansen in a musical duel to avenge the death of his father.

Apart from ‘Baju Bawra’, Deepika has an impressive line-up of projects in the pipeline including ‘Fighter’, ’83’, ‘Sanki’, ‘Pathan’, and Indian adaptation of Nancy Meyers’s 2015 hit Hollywood film ‘The Intern’.

Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh will also be seen in movies like ’83’, ‘Sooryavanshi’, ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’, ‘Cirkus’, and the Hindi remake of blockbuster hit ‘Anniyan’.

He will also star in filmmaker Karan Johar’s next directorial venture titled ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’. The movie will reunite Ranveer with his ‘Gully Boy’ co-star Alia Bhatt.
