Buzz is that Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati is proving to be too expensive for one film studio.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali

The filmmaker is known to be extravagant and not cut corners to turn his ambitions to reality. If the grapevine is to be believed, Viacom 18 and Eros International will be co-producing the period drama. Bhansali's 'Bajirao Mastani' (2015) was produced by Eros and he approached them for 'Padmavati'.

But with the stipulated budget hitting through the roof, he needs to have two studios pumping in the moolah. Though there is nothing official about it yet, insiders say SLB is looking at Rs 200 crore to make the film. Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor are said to have been cast for the period drama.
