Not Ranbir Kapoor but Ranveer Singh In Baiju Bawra

There are  reports that Ranbir Kapoor  has said  no  Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s proposed musical  love story  Baiju Bawra.

“Ranbir Kapoor has never been   offered  Baiju Bawra”. Sources close to Bhansali are  amused and  infuriated by these  reports. 

So where  is  the  question  of saying no to it? The  only time Ranbir Kapoor turned down a  role  in  a Bhansali film  was when he  was offered  Guzaarish.

Bhansali offered him the  role that  was  eventually played by Aditya Roy Kapoor. Ranbir Kapoor  had a valid reason for  turning it down. He  told Bhansali, ‘How can I play a  supporting role to  Hrithik Roshan? It will typecast  me as  supporting actor.’  And that  was that.”

About the casting of   Baiju Bawra the  source  close to  Bhansali productions  says,  “It is Ranveer Singh who is being seriously  considered for  the part. Nothing has  been finalized  yet. Right now  Bhansali’s focus is  on the casting of Heera Mandi.”
