Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
is
finally
tired
of
waiting
for
Salman
Khan
for
his
next
big
project
Bajirao
Mastani.
He
has
now
approached
Shahrukh
Khan
to
play
the
role
of
Bajirao.
Bhansali
has
been
struggling
behind
his
film
since
last
eight
years.
Initially,
he
had
planned
to
cast
Salman
and
Aishwarya
Rai,
but
the
film
hit
a
roadblock
when
the
then
couple
split.
The
director
tried
reviving
the
film
in
2005
with
Sallu
and
Kareena
Kapoor
but
without
any
success.
Reportedly,
Bhansali
was
disappointed
with
the
entire
issue
until
his
friend
suggested
Shahrukh's
name.
“He
was
quite
kicked
with
the
idea
and
immediately
called
up
King
Khan
and
offered
him
the
role.
The
actor
who
is
aware
of
the
film
and
liked
the
subject
asked
him
to
give
him
a
proper
narration," a
source
informed
Mid
Day.
