Priyanka Chopra, who plays the lead in Sanjay Leela Bhansalis co-production Mary Kom, seems to be the filmmakers latest muse. It was Aishwarya Rai who at one time inspired Sanjay Leela Bhansali to make a trilogy of great films - Devdas, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Guzaarish. For a while it was Rani Mukerji who seemed to occupy Bhansalis muse-space. Then it seemed Deepika Padukone had taken over when he signed her for Ram-Leela and Bajirao Mastani. Priyanka also especially flew to Mumbai to attend the first-look event of Mary Kom and to attend a special birthday party hosted by the filmmaker for her recently. A source close to Mr Bhansali said, Never in his life would Sanjay have dreamt of hosting a party for anyone in his house. In fact, he has never had a party in his house. But he did it for Priyanka last week on the occasion of her birthday. He not only hosted a birthday party for Priyanka he also personally invited all his friends, and hers. Their friendship is the talk of tinsel town. Their association started when he offered her the item song in Ram-Leela, and the dance number became a success. Followed Mary Kom. Though Bhansali has only produced the film, he is said to have sat on the final editing and took Priyankas role to another level. Mary Kom has been designed to turn PC into a hero of the masses. Priyanka was so impressed by Bhansali that she blindly and unquestioningly said yes to a role in Bajirao Mastani although she didnt have the title role, the source added.
