Hyderabad: Sanjay Leela Bhansali is yet to wrap up Gangubai Kathiawadi which is in limbo due to COVID-19 induced lockdown but that doesn't dent his zeal for Heera Mandi, his pet project starring Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi. The ace filmmaker is said to be reuniting with Madhuri Dixit who will be seen essaying an interesting cameo in the web show.

Speculations are rife that Madhuri and SLB are all set to reunite after nearly two decades. The two worked together in the 2002 blockbuster hit Devdas which also starred Aishwarya Rai and Shah Rukh Khan. According to reports, SLB is keen on roping in Madhuri for a mujra sequence which is very significant to the narrative.

The 54-year-old actor is undisputedly the dancing queen of Hindi cinema and for this very reason, Bhansali wants none but Madhuri to come onboard for the mujra sequence. The team is reportedly planning for an eight to ten-day schedule for which the actor has been offered a hefty amount.

For unversed, SLB has roped in Sonakshi and Huma to essay important characters in the show for his dream project. Bhansali's magnum opus series which is mounted on a lavish scale is acquired by streaming giant Netflix.

Meanwhile, SLB's upcoming film Gangubai Kathiawadi starring Alia Bhatt is still under production. The team will be wrapping up the remainder in a couple of days once the COVId-19 second wave subsidies and restrictions are eased out.
