Bhansali trying to rope in Lata Mangeshkar for Padmavati

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s fondness for the veteran singer Lata Mangeshkar is not a secret. Shreya Ghoshal had exclusively told SpotboyE.com that the director would very often cite examples of the veteran singer to get the emotion right in the tracks, (Shreya Ghoshal: Mediocrity Has Crept Into The Music Industry, Nov 30).

Now as per the latest buzz, SpotboyE.com has it that the SLB is trying to rope in the Nightingale for a track in his upcoming film Padmavati. A source close to the director confirmed the story saying, “It is SLB’s dream to make Lataji sing a song in his film. But Lataji has not yet replied to his request.”

As per insiders, SLB has always been trying to approach Lata Mangeshkar for his movies since the longest time, but she has refused the filmmaker due to some reason or the other. Now we will have to wait and watch if the 86-year-old singer agrees to croon for SLB this time.

The music recording of the movie commenced last month and Shreya Ghoshal even rendered her vocals for one of the tracks of the film. Nagpur based musician Shreyas Puranik will be composing music for the film. Shreyas has previously worked with SLB as an assistant music composer.

Padmavati is based on the Queen of Chittorgarh - Rani Padmini or aka Padmavati. If all goes well, Deepika Padukone will play the tittle role. Bhansali plans to start shooting in the next two months. Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor are expected to play 
Alauddin Khilji and Ratan Singh (husband of Padmavati) respectively.
