Years ago Vishal Bhardwaj landed upto to Sanjay Leela Bhansali with a script based on the subject 'Reincarnation'; well though the thing never happened. After so long their strings have attached in an odd way; they both have shown a keen interest in the same thing i.e. directing films on two different female gangsters based on the same source material.

The filmmakers duo have grabbed the rights from chapters out of S. Hussain Zaidi's bestseller about female gangsters 'Mafia Queens Of Mumbai'. Both the ace filmmakers have set their own targets as Vishal Bhardwaj would soon be making a film based on Zaidi's account of Ashraf Khan alias Sapna, the gangster whose only mission in life is to assassinate her husband's killer Dawood; on the other side, Sanjay Leela Bhansali would be directing a film based on the life and crimes of female gangster Gangubai Kothewali, the dreaded female crime lord who is well known as 'The Madame Of Kamathipura'.

Call it a game of destiny as they both will be clashing each other with their respective projects at the same time which seems to be interesting.

As from the sources, both the filmmakers are well fascinated by their lead subjects such as Bhansali by Gangubai's life whereas Bhardwaj is by Ashraf Khan's. Both the directors are well in advance reserved by other projects before taking on Husain Zaidi's lady gangster stories as their hunt for the perfect actress is still on.

In the meantime, another filmmaker Shashi Ranjan is already midway through his biopic on another female gangster Archana Sharma. Ranjan confirms he is shooting Sharma's story with Mahima Chaudhry in the lead.
