This is interesting. Remember Sanjay Dutt’s iconic anti-hero role of Ballu in Subash Ghai’s film Khalnayak released in the early ’90s?

Some of you might recall it for the song Choli ke Peechhe Kya Hai. Well, guess what: it’s being remade by none other than Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Last week Sanjay LB, the director of Ram Leela, met Subhash G to officially seek his permission to do the film. Apparently, he got the go-ahead.

As for who will be cast in the parts played by Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit, it is still under the choli, sorry, under wraps.
