Sanjay Leela Bhansali to launch niece after Padmavati

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known to have a magic touch over the stars he grooms, and the filmmaker has turned his focus close to home. SLB is now all set to launch his niece, Bela Segal’s daughter, in a film directed by Mangesh Hadawale.

Says a source, “The film is based on a real story and will start rolling at the end of next year. SLB, who is busy with Padmavati, has asked his team to start working on the film. After he finishes his directorial, he will concentrate on launching his niece.” The source added that the movie will also launch Jaaved Jafferi’s son, Mezaan.

The movie was supposed to go on floors earlier this year, but Padmavati has kept the filmmaker busy.
