Two days back, the news broke out that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has signed Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next film that will hit the floors in mid 2012. Apparently Aish has also started working out to lose her baby flab to work in the film. And now we hear that the Bachchan Bahu will romance none other than Shah Rukh Khan in the film.

Reportedly, the talked about film is none other than Bhansali’s dream project 'Bajirao Mastani'. Initially, Bhansali was keen to sign his favourite Salman Khan to star in the film but it is impossible that Aishwarya will work with Salman and so to retain Aishwarya, Bhansali has zeroed down on the king of romance Shah Rukh Khan in the film.

Reportedly, SRK and Bhansali have met a couple of times to discuss over the film and SRK has also given his nod to him. If everything falls in place we might see the 'Devdas' couple together sizzling on the silver screen.
