Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Karan Johar

Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali has decided to lock horns with Karan Johar by announcing the release date of his ‘Bajirao Mastani’ for 25th December, 2015 the same date as set for KJo’s ‘Shuddhi’. The common factor in both the movies is Deepika Padukone.

The moment Kareena Kapoor walked out of ‘Shuddhi’, Deepika was considered and she has come on board too. Bhansali too was considering his Leela (Deepika Padukone) to play Mastani in his Bajirao Mastani.
