Sanjay Leela Bhansali is not spilling the beans about next project 'Padmavati'

After his big win as Best Director for Bajirao Mastani at the 2016 IIFA awards, Sanjay Leela Bhansali preferred to keep tight-lipped when questioned about his next project on Queen of Chittor Padmavati.

Instead the Ram-Leela director hinted that he would immediately get back work for his next movie.

"No time to party; rather I would get back to the next one (project) and work hard," he said while interacting with the media at the post show press conference.

Speaking about his win, Bhansali said that this award happened after a long time which makes him feel wonderful. "It happened after a long time. It feels good to receive an award after years," he stated.

"When you live a dream completely and it gets fulfilled, that's a wonderful feeling. I can't express that in words," added the film-maker.

For the uninitiated, it is abuzzed that Sanjay Leela Bhansali, after the success of Ram-Leela and Bajirao Mastani, has roped in Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh for yet another period love story that is set to go on the floors this September.

Said to be based on tyrant emperor Alauddin Khilji's obsession for Padmavati, the queen of Chittor, the movie will see Bajirao Ranveer as Khilji and Mastani Deepika as the queen.

As per reports, Masaan famed Vicky Kaushal has been finalised to play the leggy lass' husband in this love story. Bhansali had earlier directed an opera of the same name and theme, which was widely appreciated in Paris.

Prakash Kapadia, who scripted Bajirao Mastani, has reportedly been roped in to write Padmavati.
