The love between Sameer (Salman Khan) and Nandini (Aishwarya Rai) in classic hit film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam is still etched in everyone’s heart and minds. It was that time when the two fell in love with each other while shooting for the film.
They are yet to be paired opposite each other after their break-up. But it looks like Bhansali is going to make the impossible possible by bringing Aishwarya opposite Salman in his upcoming film tentatively titled Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam 2.
A few days ago, it was announced that Bhansali and Salman are reuniting for a love story and the film is all set to go on floor soon. While there was no official confirmation on the casting of the film’s leading lady opposite Salman, the industry grapevines suggest that Bhansali is reportedly making efforts to approach and convince Aishwarya to come on board and recreate their 19 years of magic on the big screen.
Earlier, it was reported that Bhansali was keen on casting Deepika Padukone opposite Salman considering their collaboration in successful films like Ram-Leela, Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat. However, Salman, on the other hand, was keen to cast Anushka Sharma considering their chemistry in Sultan and had reportedly recommended her name to Bhansali.
It is to be noted that when Priyanka Chopra recently appeared on Koffee With Karan 6, she revealed that she is currently in talks with Bhansali for a film without going into further details. So there could be a possibility that Priyanka may play the leading lady opposite Salman.
While the makers of the film are still on a hunting spree for a leading actress opposite Salman, it remains to be seen if Aishwarya will give her nod for a film opposite her ex-lover and bury the hatchet with him.
Let’s wait and watch how things will unfold in the days to come.
