Sanjay Leela Bhansali will be directing this film, and so far Irrfan Khan has been cast. There are rumors that the female lead will be played by Deepika Padukone. The film will supposedly be about the real life legendary poets Sahir Ludhianvi and Amrita Pritam and their romance. Sources: Times of India, Koimoi, The Indian Express

^I think in real life, Sahir died from a sudden cardiac death at the age of 59, while Amrita died in her sleep at the age of 86.

Fawad Khan and Parineeti Chopra finalised for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Gustakhiyan'? June 15, 2016 15:31 IST By Sushmita Sen Fawad Khan and Parineeti Chopra would reportedly share screen space for the first time in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film. It is said to be a biopic on Sahir Ludhianvi and Amrita Pritam. Earlier, Irrfan Khan and Priyanka Chopra's names were doing the rounds for the roles. According to a Filmfare report, due to unavailability of Priyanka's dates, the recent buzz is that Parineeti and Fawad have supposedly been approached to play these lead roles. Irrfan might not star in the film as Sahir's character will age from his early 20s to his 40s and 50s and the makers feel that the "Madaari" actor will not fit the younger version. A few days ago, it was reported that Bhumi Pednekar was approached for the female lead, but now Parineeti's name seems to have found takers. "Bhumi is new, talented and not over-exposed. She's busy with 'Manmarziyan' as of now, but she has met officials from Bhansali's team. Let's hope for the best," SpotboyE had quoted a source as saying. Before Bhansali, the film was being produced by Ashi Dua, who was struggling to cast actors for primary characters like poet-lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi, writer Amrita Pritam and artist-poet Imroz. Apart from Bhumi and Priyanka, Deepika Padukone's and Kareena Kapoor Khan's names were also doing the rounds. "Gustakhiyan" is the third film of Bhansali that Kareena has reportedly rejected after "Bajirao Mastani" and "Goliyon Ki Rasleela – Ram Leela." Meanwhile, fans are eagerly waiting for the lead actors to be finalised for "Gustakhiyan." Though Fawad and Parineeti might be roped in, people have to wait for the official announcement. Parineeti is currently busy with Yash Raj Films' "Meri Pyaari Bindu" opposite Ayushmann Khurrana, while Fawad will next be seen in Karan Johar's "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil." www.ibtimes.co.in/fawad-khan-parineeti-chopra-finalised-sanjay-leela-bhansalis-gustakhiyan-682827

Shahrukh Khan and Aishwarya might star in this one. Though, SRK read the script, he has yet to accept the role.

Here’s how Abhishek Bachchan is preparing to play Sahir Ludhianvi ABHISHEK BACHCHAN HAS LOST A LOT OF WEIGHT AND READING AS MUCH LITERATURE PENNED BY THE WRITER AS POSSIBLE TO PLAY THE FAMOUS POET SAHIR LUDHIANVI IN THE LATTER’S BIOPIC, PRODUCED BY SANJAY LEELA BHANSALI July 26, 2017 Team C&C 0 Celebs And Cinema had earlier reported how Abhishek Bachchan has been roped in by Sanjay Leela Bhansali for his another ambitious project, a biopic on poet and lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi. Abhishek Bachchan has now started with the preparations for his famous onscreen portrayal. Since Ludhianvi had a lean body type, the actor has reportedly lost oodles of weight to get into the skin of the character and is also increasing his knowledge about the many works of the poet. To be produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the Sahir Ludhianvi biopic will mark the directorial debut of Jasmeet Reen. While Sanjay Leela Bhansali has been busy with ‘Padmavati’ of late, Abhishek is currently working on JP Dutta’s multi-starrer war film ‘Paltan’.

Even as he gears up for Padmavati release, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has finalised the cast for his film on Amrita Pritam-Sahir Ludhianvi. While Deepika Padukone will play Amrita, Sahir's role will be essayed by Abhishek Bachchan. BOLLYWOOD Updated: Nov 03, 2017 11:49 IST Deepika Padukone and Abhishek Bachchan are all set to bring onscreen the love story of Amrita Pritam and Sahir Ludhianvi. Deepika Padukone, who is gearing up for release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati, has been reportedly roped in to play poet Amrita Pritam in the director's next venture and Abhishek Bachchan will star opposite her as Sahir Ludhianvi. Touted to be the love story of Pritam and lyricist-poet Ludhianvi, the film will be Deepika's fourth venture with Bhansali. Abhishek is likely to essay Sahir's role in the movie. A Quint report quoted a source as saying, "Abhishek has begun preparing for his Sahir biopic . He will begin rigorous interaction with Sanjay Bhansali after Padmavati releases. But his groundwork on Sahir has begun in right earnest. He is regularly listening to the immortal repertoire of Sahir's lyrics from Guru Dutt's Pyasa to Yash Chopra's Trishul. Abhishek's father, Amitabh Bachchan, had the good fortune to interact with Sahir when he worked in Kabhi Kabhie and Trishul. So Bachchan Saab is able to provide plenty of invaluable inputs to Abhishek's preparation. Earlier, Bhansali was in talks with Shah Rukh Khan for Sahir's role. "It was in Red Chilles (before), then Bhansali took it over. Jasneet is the writer. I really liked the story but we have not confirmed it. Sanjay is supposed to meet me now. I think I'll meet him after Raees, if he is free from Padmavati. He has a couple of stories and one of them is Sahir Ludhianvi. I heard it two years ago when it wasn't with Sanjay, SRK had said before the release of Raees. Sahir Ludhianvi and Amrita Pritam romance Amrita Pritam and Sahir Ludhianvi saw each other over a crowded room and fell in love. Their romance may have started as a clich but nothing about it was conventional. Amrita was still married to Pritam Singh in 1944 when she met Sahir for the first time but the marriage was not happy. Their romance would take place over long distances as they wrote letters to each other full of endearments. From the letters to her memoirs, Rasidi Ticket, Amrita made her love for Sahir very clear but he was not so forthcoming. While he accepted to his mother that Amrita "aapki bahu ban sakti thi, according to his biographer, he never committed to Amrita. In 1960, he would fall in love with singer Sudha Malhotra, ending their relationship. Amrita, who had walked out of her unhappy marriage much before, would go on to have a relationship with painter Imroz. Seeing the two together, Sahir penned the song, "Mehfil Se Uth Jaane Walo for the film Dooj ka Chand (1964).
