Sometime

we
had
reported
that
the
tinsel
town
is
abuzz
with
rumours
that
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
is
keen
to
reunite
with
his
'Devdas'
actor
Shahrukh
Khan
for
the
Sahir
Ludhianvi
biopic
reportedly
titled
Gustakhiyan.
Well,
it
turns
out
that
all
these
speculations
are
absolutely
true!
As
per
a
Mumbai
Mirror
report,
Bhansali
and
SRK
met
last
week
to
discuss
the
film
and
if
all
works
out
well
then,
the
duo
might
collaborate
on
the
film
in
2018.
The
daily
quoted
a
source
saying,
"Bhansali
and
SRK
met
late
one
night
last
week
and
the
filmmaker
handed
over
the
complete
script
of
the
biopic
to
SRK,
telling
him
that
he
would
like
to
direct
him
in
2018.
There
is
a
lot
of
poetry
in
the
film
and
SRK
has
been
reading
Sahir's
ghazals
and
nazms."
While
SRK
is

sign
the
dotted
lines,

together
lately,
discussing
work
and
cinema." adding
that
the
makers
are
yet
to
finalize
the
leading
lady
who
will
play
Amrita
Pritam.
Reportedly,
Gustakhiyan
will
follow
Sahir's
relationship
with
poetess-novelist
Amrita
Pritam
before
he
went
on
to
court
singer-actress
