According to our sources Sanjay has wanted to cast Hritik in his film from a long time. He wanted him to work in Chenab Gandhi but as Hritik was so tied up with his work he was unable to give his dates to Sanjay.
So he suggested the name of his good friend Ranbir but unfortunately due to lack of dates Ranbir too was unable to work for him. Therefore finally Sanjay had to cast Hritik look-alike Harman Baweja in his film.
Sanjay would start the shoot of his unknown film by next year. As we are all are aware of the fact that Hritik is very busy with his work these days I guess Hritik should also be aware of the fact that if he continues to avoid his directors for dates they would all seek hostage to Harman Baweja.
Not every director is as considerate as Sanjay Leela Bhansali, isn't it?
