Five years after it was shelved, Alia Bhatt confirms that Inshallah is a love story with Salman Khan. Despite creative differences, she hopes the film will be made.

It’s been five years since Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah was shelved, but questions remain about the film. According to reports from 2019, the film – which starred Alia Bhatt and Salman Khan – was put on the back burner due to creative differences between Salman and Sanjay. Alia was asked the same in a recent interview.

Salman Khan (58) and Alia Bhatt (31) would play lovers in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Inshallah.

Alia on Inshallah

Alia, who was promoting her latest film Jigra on Lallantop, confirmed in an interview that Inshallah was indeed a love story between her character and Salman’s. When asked about the status of the film, she said, “No, not to my knowledge. I am doing another film with Sanjay sir, Love and War.

“I hope he makes it to Inshallah one day because bahut hi badia kahani hai (it’s a beautiful story),” she said. When the interviewer said that Salman was playing an ‘adhed (middle-aged) businessman’, Alia exclaimed, ‘Oh! (laughs awkwardly) I won’t say anything about that.’

She added that the film was a “beautiful love story.”

The interviewer then commented, “Hero badalna padega, creative difference kaafi hogae (The hero should be changed. There have been too many creative differences).” Alia replied, “Whatever Sanjay decides will be the best for the film.”

About the roadblock of Inshallah

Inshallah was announced in 2019. Both actors posted about this on social media. But it was later shelved due to “creative differences.” Salman said he wants Bhansali to make the film the director wants to make and the two will remain friends.

Asserting that Bhansali will never betray his film, Salman told Mumbai Mirror in an interview, “Sanjay was a friend even before we started working on Khamoshi. He had come to meet me through Manisha Koirala. After that we worked together on Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. When he came to me with this film, I liked it and we decided to work together again. One thing I can say is that Sanjay will not do any gaddari with his film. I want him to make the movie he wants to make. Nothing changes between us as friends and I’m sure nothing has changed in Sanjay’s heart for me. I have a very good relationship with his mother (Leela) and sister (Bela). I wish him all the best. He and I will still work on a film in the future, Inshallah.”
