After the news of shelving of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Inshallah', Salman Khan opened about the so-called 'fiasco' and announced that he will not be part of the film. "Currently, Inshallah is not being made. Inshallah will be made but at least not with me," said the 53-year-old superstar at IIFA awards ceremony. The filming of 'Inshallah' starring Alia Bhatt was supposed to begin in September after Salman would have finished shooting for 'Dabangg 3'. Last month, Khan had tweeted, "The film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali is pushed but I will still see you all on Eid, 2020. Insha-Allah!!"
Salman was accompanied by his 'Dabangg 3' co-star and daughter of Mahesh Manjrekar, Saiee. While introducing Saiee at the IIFA 2019, 'Bajarangi Bhaijan' actor recalled the time when Sonakshi Sinha was also introduced at the gala event, IIFA. "It's so strange that long time back, Sonakshi Sinha was also introduced on the ramp at IIFA and now this is her turn," he said.
Alia Bhatt who was set to work with Khan and Bhansali for the first time in 'Inshallah' was reportedly very upset after the film was shelved. At IIFA's green carpet she said, "I was very excited to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Salman as well. I believe that sometimes things happen which are not in your control. Plans never really go as per plans but I can give it to you in writing that I am going to work with Bhansali very soon." Alia is currently working on Ayan Mukerji's 'Brahmastra' and Mahesh Bhatt's 'Sadak 2.'
For uninitiated, 'Inshallah' got shelved reportedly due to the creative differences between Salman and Bhansali. The project would have marked the reunion of Bhansali with Salman after 20 years. Salman and Bhansali had first worked together in the filmmaker's debut movie 'Khamoshi: The Musical' (1996). The iconic actor-director duo last worked together on 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' (1999), the film also starred Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and it went on to become one of the biggest blockbusters of that time. Salman also had a brief cameo in Ranbir Kapoor-starrer 'Saawariya'.
