The source added that the project is in the initial stages of development and there is no director attached to it at the moment.

“Once Shahid agrees in principle on the script, [Sanjay Leela] Bhansali will scout for a director, as he wishes to get a top director on board the project. It’s a very commercial script, on the lines of two other films produced by SLB, Rowdy Rathore and Gabbar Is Back. SLB and team are hopeful on Shahid [Kapoor] to come on board the film.”
