Announcement of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Inshallah' created quite the stir, especially with the cast involving Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt in the lead. Much was said about casting the young actress opposite a much older Khan. New details have come forward about their characters in the film.
Salman is set to play a 40 year old businessman with a young heart. A source in the know said, "It's a character that's young at heart and Salman will sport a stylish look, complete with designer jackets and sunglasses." They also said that his character is based in Orlando, Florida, USA. Also reports suggest that Alia will essay the role of an aspiring actor in her mid-20s.
They said that Alia's character hails from a place situated at the banks of river Ganga, which is why Bhansali and team had been visiting places like Varanasi, Rishikesh, Haridwar. Sources also said that Bhansali and his team will be in USA for near three weeks, looking for ideal shooting locations in Florida. A source said, "The prime spots on their wish-list are in the streets of Orlando and the beaches of Miami." Alia had earlier responded to statements on the age gap between the characters in the movie.
She had said, "I didn't get any criticism. I think I got a lot of excitement. I think speculation is also a form of excitement in a way and why shouldn't there be speculation. There should be and at least I am not bothered by that and I don't think Salman or Bhansali sir are bothered. I think this is a filmmaker who has given us very good films, he is someone who we all are very fond of and I think we should just trust him with his vision."
