Priyanka Chopra back in Mumbai in a hunt for her leading man?

Juggling between Hollywood and Bollywood is Priyanka Chopra who has successfully managed to get the best of both the worlds. The actress has been constantly travelling to-and-fro as she plans to lock in on her Bollywood and Hollywood projects. She last night posted a picture on her Instagram announcing to her many fans that she is home bound.

Arriving in the city today, reports suggest that Priyanka is in Mumbai to finalise on the lead actor opposite her in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Gustakhiyan'. Earlier there were reports that Abhishek Bachchan will play the role of Sahir Ludhianvi in the film; however, Priyanka was not too keen on doing the film alongside the actor. There were also reports about Irrfan Khan being shown the door too as the actress wanted a more famous actor to play the later poet-lyricist.

A source close to a leading tabloid revealed, "The film's leading man has to be finalised within this month. Though Bhansali is neck deep in work with 'Padmavati', he wants to start this film by mid-2018. The film's pre-production has to be completed latest by March next year. So working backwards, the lead cast has to be decided before the pre-production begins."

PeeCee's mother Madhu Chopra in an interview had earlier revealed that the actress is planning to venture into producing Hindi films. She said, "Hopefully by next year. We have some films lined up. Hindi films will only be done by Priyanka. In that, I won't be a part. Because that needs more care. She has hired a wonderful CEO and has good staff coming in. Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Priyanka have met. But they haven't signed the dotted line as of yet. But Gustakhiyan is exactly what Priyanka was looking for. It goes with her sensibilities. She loves doing romantic movies."

Well, which actor do you think will fit the role of poet-lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi opposite Priyanka?
