Bollywood’s super hit pairing of ‘Devdas’, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and superstar Shah Rukh Khan, will not be seen together anytime soon as the actor has rejected to work with the filmmaker.
A source told Pink Villa, “Shah Rukh is not doing Sanjay’s film anymore. They had several meetings to discuss the scripts in hand last year, but nothing really worked out. SRK politely turned down the movies that were offered to him.”
Even with all these rejections, the relationship between the celebrities has not changed a bit as the source further said, “SLB and SRK are both extremely professional. They don’t let work affect their personal equation. They are good friends and they remain so. They have promised to work together on something very soon.”

In an interview, SRK had earlier revealed that the maker of the magnum opus ‘Padmaavat’ offered not one but two movies, “There [were] two scripts that [Bhansali] offered me - a period film and another one. I don’t know which one we’re doing right now. But these are the only two I have spoken to him about.”
It is also being reported that the role in the period movie was of ‘Alauddin Khilji’ that was later played by Ranveer Singh. Currently, SRK is working on his upcoming movie ‘Zero’ that also stars Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.
