They have delivered three successive blockbusters and now reports suggest that Sanjay Leela Bhansali has signed a three-film contract with actors Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone.
Their last film, Padmaavat has earned Rs 260 crores at the box office and still going strong in many theatres.
"Bhansali has not just been bowled over by their performances but also enamoured by the dedication shown by these actors. Since Padmaavat's shoot was stalled and the release was delayed, they had to contribute a lot more to the film," revealed a trade insider to The Asian Age.
Bhansali, in an earlier interview, had stated how he was 'not done' working with Deepika.
Deepika is so fabulous; she is such a jaan. I just love her. All her hard work and brilliance that she brings to the set is effortless... It's such a pleasure to work with someone who does what she is doing at that moment with absolute honesty... Her performances are so detailed and nuanced. I'm not done with her yet," Bhansali had said.
About Ranveer, he had told DNA, "No other filmmaker understands Ranveer the way I do. Ranveer and I have a great chemistry and understanding. I know how to direct him... He's a very special actor. He has so much energy."
