Sanjay Leela Bhansali set to launch the next star kid

Bollywood filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali is all set to launch veteran actor Poonam Dhillon and Ashok Thakeria’s son Anmol Thakeria and the film’s shoot has already kick-started in London. Interestingly, earlier Shahid Kapoor was supposed to be the lead actor of the project, but it went to Anmol once the Padmaavat actor turned down the offer.

According to a source, “Sanjay Leela Bhansali is giving a big launch pad to Poonam Dhillon and Ashok Thakeria’s son Anmol Thakeria — his dream Bollywood debut. They are shooting for the film in London. As far as the leading lady is concerned, they are still figuring it out. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is soon planning to launch him with a big announcement.”

So far veteran actress Poonam is happy about his son’s debut and believes that it’s the best debut for him. “I think it’s one of the best debut that he could have asked for. He is very happy and thrilled. I would say that he got the project on his merits, as I had no say or connection in it. Our whole focus is on his Bollywood debut right now and we both are very excited about it,” said the actress.

So far Sanjay Leela Bhansali had launched Rishi Kapoor’s son Ranbir Kapoor and Anil Kapoor’s daughter Sonam Kapoor in Saawariya back in 2007. The film may have flopped but it proved to be wonderful launch pad for two star kids.
