Earlier, reports were that Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra will be doing the film but this latest development has put a rest to those rumours.

Sahir Ludhianvi was the pen name of a legendary poet-lyricist, Abdul Hayee. The legend had won many awards and had also made a lot of contributions to the Hindi Film Industry.

Some of the most popular songs written by him include Abhi Na Jao chhodkar ke dil abhi bhara nahin, Saathi haath badhana, Aye meri zoharjabin and Neele Gagan Ke Tale to name a few.

There hasn't been an official confirmation by Sanjay Leela Bhansali or the cast of the film.
