Ever
since
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
spoke
about
doing
a
film
on
the
life
of
legendary
poet-lyricist
Sahir
Ludhianvi,
tenatatively
titled
as
Gustakhiyan,
a
lot
of
speculations
have
been
doing
the
rounds.
While
earlier,
we
heard
names
like
Irrfan
Khan
and
Fawad
Khan
being
considered
for
the
male
lead,
here's
the
latest
development.
If
reports
are
to
be
believed
then
the
film-maker
is
currently
in
talks
with
Shahrukh
Khan
for
this
movie.
Earlier
when
SLB
had
expressed
his
desire
to
make
a
movie
on
this
subject
he
had
said,
"When
the
script
came
to
me,
it
was
so
wonderful
that
I
wanted
to
direct
it.
But
then,
I
decided
to
produce
it.
Sahir
Ludhianvi
had
a
legacy
and
such
a
great
love
story.
It
deserves
to
be
told.
It's
an
important
film
for
us.
This
film
is
my
way
of
giving
back
to
the
cinema
for
his
immense
contribution."
It
would
be
quite
interesting
to
see
SRK
play
Sahir
Ludhianvi
on
screen
considering
that
the
superstar
is
keen
to
experiment
with
his
films
and
take
up
fresh
subjects.
Meanwhile,
Bhansali
has
already
kick-started
his
magnum
opus
Padmavati
with
Ranveer
Singh,
Deepika
Padukone
and
Ranveer
Singh
in
lead
roles.
The
film
is
slated
to
hit
the
big
screens
on
17th
November,
2017.
