Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah was supposed to star Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles. But Salman decided to opt-out of the film and the movie was reportedly put on a backburner. However, a few days ago, there were reports that Inshallah will happen and Bhansali will do a few changes in the script and will replace Salman with another actor.
Now according to a report in a tabloid, another actor might be Hrithik Roshan. A source confirmed that Hrithik met Bhansali but it is not yet confirmed that if the meeting was for Inshallah. Recently, even Alia was spotted outside SLB’s office. The actress had reportedly started shooting for the film when the movie faced the hurdle.
While talking about why SLB won’t shelve Inshallah, a source had earlier said, “A massive budget has been invested in the pre-production process of Inshallah. Hence, Bhansali is planning to continue with his magnum opus without Salman Khan. The filmmaker has decided to make a few changes to the script and make the project as planned. Alia will still be a part of the film but another actor will be roped in to replace Salman.”
Well, if Hrithik stars in Inshallah, it will be interesting to see him romance Alia Bhatt. The actor has worked with SLB in Guzaarish and for his performance in the film, he had won many awards. When the news about Inshallah being shelved came out, there were reports that SLB will now direct Shah Rukh Khan in a film titled Izhaar. But well, nothing has been officially announced.
We hope that soon things are clarified and we come to know which will be SLB’s next directorial, Inshallah or any other film. His last directorial was Padmaavat which also faced a lot of controversy before its release. However, the movie did a great collection at the box office.
