Will Priyanka Chopra star in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next, Heera Mandi?

Priyanka Chopra, who’s gearing up for her next Hindi film, The Sky Is Pink, has already been finalized for another film, it seems, and it’s no ordinary one! Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who has completed a hat-trick of hits with his favorite actors, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, may rope in Piggy Chops for his next historical drama, Heera Mandi. It’s based on one of the most powerful and dreaded female gangsters in Mumbai Underworld who was based in the famous red-light area of the city, Kamathipura. It’s stated she forced women into the world of prostitution but also undertook the responsibility of their empowerment.

This seems to be a subject that has the potential to explode on the celluloid, and given a filmmaker as aesthetic and altruistic as Bhansali, who’s known for pumping drama and grandeur into his cinema, this could be as big as his last magnum opuses. Let’s see whether Priyanka is finalized for the film or not!
