Future of Sanjay Leela Bhansali in 2021

Sanjay Leela Bhansali will be entering the 59th year of his life. 5+9= 14, 1+4= 5 which is ruled by Mercury. 2021 is also a number 5 year which should turn out to be a favorable year for Bhansali.
His lucky numbers are 3, 6, 9.

“The first half of the year 2021 will be a mixed period and there may be some incidents that may affect Sanajy’s peace of mind. But post-July, things will ease for him and he will enjoy faster progress. He will get due cooperation and support from the bigwigs of the entertainment industry, predicts famous Bollywood astrologer Hirav Shah.

Career-wise his next film Gangubai Kathiawadi with Alia Bhatt will do good business but nothing that will match the success of his films like Devdas, Padmaavat, or Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. He needs to plan to work with SRK or Ranbir Kapoor for his future films Inshahallah and Baiju Bawra remake. He also needs to concentrate more on his direction than producing mediocre films under his banner with some new directors.” says Bollywood Astrologer Hirav Shah.

Wishing One of the Legendary Directors of Indian Cinema a Very Happy Birthday.
