Alia Bhatt or Deepika Padukone; Who will star in SLB's next?

When Sanjay Leela Bhansali makes movies, the grandeur of it all leaves us awestruck. The star cast too is enthralling and well, from the last three times it is Deepika Padukone who is bringing to life the 'Rani sa' of SLB. 

Be it in Padmaavat or Bajirao Mastani or Ram Leela, Ms. Padukone has enticed us with all of her performances. But now it's time for Sanjay Leela Bhansali to explore other star's potential too. The grapevines are abuzz that SLB is considering Alia Bhatt for his next film. 

As per a report in a leading entertainment portal, a little birdie close to Bhansali's office, informed,"Nothing is final as yet. But Bhansali is thinking of Alia seriously for his next, although Deepika is his all-time favourite. A change after working with the same Ranveer - Deepika pair in three successive films would be highly recommended."

Alia was 11 years old when she first auditioned for SLB's Black. She was a child artist then but another girl was roped in for the role. Now years later, it's Sanjay Leela Bhansali who is keen on casting Alia in his movies. That's quiet a sweet reward for waiting for so long. 

Now only time will tell who will be seen in the next of SLB. We know Deepika is his favorite but Alia has tremendous potential and we can't deny that. Deepika's Chhapaak is going on floors within this month and Alia Bhatt's Gully Boy will release in a few weeks. Both the stars are at the epitome of success these days. SLB will add another star to it.
