And voila! Here is the BIG announcement – Alia Bhatt will be starring opposite Salman Khan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next.
The film will be titled Inshallah. Taking to Twitter, Alia confirmed the news saying, “I was 9 when I first walked into Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s office, all nervous hoping and praying that I would be in his next film. It’s been a long wait.” To which Salman replied saying, “It’s been 20 years but I am glad Sanjay and I are finally back in his next film, Inshallah.

For the longest time now there were rumours about Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra being a part of SLB’s next project with it being a remake of Meena Kumari’s hit classic Baiju Bawra. However, now with this latest update, we know that it was basically only a rumour.
However, it has not been revealed if the film is a remake of Baiju Bawra. But keeping in mind the superior acting chops of the duo, only the spectacular is expected.
