What happened to the film between Rajeev Khandelwal and Sanjay Leela Bhansali?

Rajeev Khandelwal confessed that he had signed a movie with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Unfortunately, the film, titled Chenab Gandhi, never took off. He spoke to Pinkvilla about the movie and how it was a good script – and how they went about the project.

Recalling how he was on a two-film deal, the actor shared, “I am talking about Chenab Gandhi. Woh maine script ki wajah se kiya tha. And at that time, I remember telling Mr. Bhansali, ‘aap na mujhe pehle test kare. You tell me that you want me. Post that, give me the liberty to ask you for the script, and also the freedom for me to say no. I know you are a senior director, but sir, aap pehle mere screen test aur look test kar lo. Jis din aap bologe, Rajeev, yes… I want you. Uske baad main script padunga, phir main bhi apna ek right rakhunga haan ya naa bolne ka.’”

The actor further revealed that Bhansali met him for nearly 20 days to work on the project, before Rajeev said yes for the script. He also shared saying yes to the project for the script rather than the setup.
