Sanjay Dutt to join forces with Rani Mukerji for the first time ever?

We all know that Sanjay Dutt has a number of plum projects in his hands right now. His comeback film Bhoomi is yet to release, but the actor has already started preparations for his upcoming projects, one of them being director Aarambh Singh's directorial Malang. While the search for the leading lady of the movie is currently underway, a source confirms that Rani Mukerji is in talks for the role. The film will be produced by Bhushan Kumar, Sandeep Singh and Omung Kumar.

"Sanjay, Aarambh and the producers of Malang are keen to work with Rani since they've never been paired on the big screen. Dutt plays an investigating officer who falls in love with a lady cop. Rani will need to look extremely fit for the part. Sanju has a lot of respect for her and has been wanting to work with her for long. But, she has not signed a film outside of husband Aditya Chopra's banner in the last few years," a source said.

Spokesperson of Rani Mukerji has also confirmed that the actress had been approached for the part, stating, "Omung has reached out to YRF and requested for a meeting (with Rani)."

If all goes well, the romantic-thriller film will mount floors in December and will be shot extensively across Varanasi and Shimla.
