Actress Patralekha, who made her debut earlier this year with the much-acclaimed filmmaker Hansal Mehta’s ‘Citylights’, has now been signed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali for his next production. The film, to be directed by Anuradha Tiwari, is said to be an intense romantic drama, which will be shot in Mumbai and Banaras. Now it is being said that the makers have roped in “Kai Po Che” fame actor Amit Sadh as her leading man.
A source close to the unit revealed that while this unusual love story unfolds across several cities in the North, Patralekha and Amit’s track is set in Delhi. “Their characters belong to the city’s elite,” says the source, adding that though Bhansali is busy shooting Bajirao Mastani, he is completely clued in to what Anuraadha is up to. One more pivotal character is yet to be cast. “The screening process is underway and by the year end, they should have the girl,” informed the source. The film goes on the floors early next year.
