A lot has been spoken about Baiju Bawra ever since Sanjay Leela Bhansali announced his another magnum opus. There were reports that Ajay Devgn was roped in the play the eponymous character. Later, it was revealed that Ranbir Kapoor and Bhansali's favourite Ranveer Singh will be playing the leading role.
While there have been speculations about the male lead, the makers have been tight-lipped about the heroine. Now, according to latest media reports, there will be not one but two leading ladies. SLB has decided to go with his current favourites Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt. Speaking to Pinkvilla, a source close to the production house said, "It's a story of four characters - two heroes and two heroines. For both the heroines, SLB has decided to go with his current favourites Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt. He has narrated the script to both of them and they have both loved their parts. In all probabilities, Alia will be paired opposite Ranbir's Baiju in the film, stepping into Meena Kumari's shoes from the original. Deepika will play the other female lead, that of dacoit Roopmati essayed by Kuldip Kaur in the 1952 drama. Both the actors will be Ranbir's romantic interests in the period saga and have shown a keen interest in the project. If this materialises, this will be a big casting coup for sure."
