Ranveer Singh signed for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Baiju Bawra

It is Ranveer Singh in and as Baiju Bawra in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s version of the musical saga, earlier filmed by Vikram Bhatt’s grandfather, the distinguished Vijay Bhatt.

About the casting of Baiju Bawra, the source close to Bhansali productions says, “It is Ranveer Singh who was being seriously considered for the part. Bhansali’s focus was on the casting of Heera Mandi. But now since erroneous information on the male casting of Baiju Bawra was being leaked out, Bhansali has decided to announce Ranveer Singh in the ambitious grand musical's title role.”
