Did Salman Khan play the “adhed businessman” opposite Alia Bhatt in “Inshallah”? Here’s what she says | Bollywood

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

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 that of Salman. When asked about the status of the film, she replied, “No, not to my knowledge. I am doing another film with Sanjay sir, Love and War.”

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

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

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

About Inshallah’s roadblock

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

Claiming 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 approached me through Manisha Koirala. After that, we worked together in 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 Gaddaari with his film. I want him to make the film he wants to make. Nothing changes between us as friends and I am sure nothing has changed in Sanjay’s heart for me. I am very close to his mother (Leela) and sister (Bela). I wish him all the best. He and I will work on a film in the future too, Inshallah.”
