Mumbai: There were several speculations about the male leads of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Baiju Bawra, but now there are reports that Ranbir Kapoor has been locked for the main role.
A source, close to the development told a leading portal, "Ranveer and SLB were discussing to collaborate on a film, but right now that can't happen. Bhansali will reunite with Ranbir on this one. There are two main male leads in the film, one is of Baiju and the other of Tansen. RK will be playing Baiju's role in the period drama. Recently, he even went to meet the filmmaker at his office where he verbally agreed to do the project. The actor's team is now working out the modalities."

Earlier reports claimed that Ranveer Singh will be roped in Baiju Bawra remake. But, it seems that the tables have turned and the Barfi actor will be reuniting with Bhansali after 13 years. The schedules aren't fixed yet.
"They aren't locking his dates as of now because they need to lock the other actors for the film and if all goes well, the film will only go on floors in the second half of 2021. Bhansali will wrap up work on Gangubai first and then plan the pre-production for this. RK, on the other hand, will start shooting for Luv Ranjan's film and then begins Sandeep Reddy Vanga's next around early 2021," the source further stated.
