"Bhansali is fascinated by the way his biopic is shaping up and has already started planning another one in the same genre," says an industry source.

The film-maker wants to work with Kangana, and the meeting was to explain its concept to the actor. "They had a long discussion, where Bhansali shared a rough idea of his plans for the film," adds the source.

While his production is about a sports personality, Bhansali’s directorial may be based on a personality from another walk of life. The source says, “It’s not about any celebrity from the entertainment industry; rather, it’s about an achiever from a different field."

Bhansali remained unavailable for a comment, and Kangana refrained from divulging any details. She said, “I can’t speak about my meeting with Bhansali. I am meeting many people; and I will speak once anything is confirmed.”

KANGANA NOT RELEASING SHORT FILM
Back in 2, Kangana Ranaut had directed a short film, The Touch, in collaboration with an Australian writer. But even as parts of the film were shown on a recent chat show, and it was appreciated, the actor isn’t keen on releasing it. “It was not made for a theatrical release. I hadn’t made it for festivals, either” says Kangana. The actor admits that she took on the project when she was losing hope of having a flourishing acting career. “That time, I got the offer to direct the film, and I did it,” she says.
