Sanjay Leela Bhansali a dear friend, will always be: Salman Khan

Superstar Salman Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's much-anticipated film In-shaa-allah may be shelved, but the actor says he still shares a great equation with the filmmaker.

The 53-year-old actor and the director announced earlier this year that they will be collaborating for a love story, also featuring Alia Bhatt, and the film will hit the theatres on Eid 2020. The project, however, was cancelled last month. When asked if he would like to work with Bhansali in future, Salman said, "Sanjay is a very dear friend of mine and he will always be.


'In-shaa-allah' means god willing. I don't think God was willing at this point of time." In-shaa-allah, which was a co-production between Salman and Bhansali's banners, would have marked the director-actor duo's first collaboration in two decades where Salman was suppose to play the lead.

Bhansali made his directorial debut with 1996's Khamoshi - The Musical, which starred Salman. The actor went on to feature in the director-producer's classic Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam in 1999 opposite Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Ajay Devgn.

He also made a cameo in Bhansali's Saawariya, which launched Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor.

Highlights:

  • AI can make thousands of podcast episodes every week with very few people.
  • Making an AI podcast episode costs almost nothing and can make money fast.
  • Small podcasters cannot get noticed. It is hard for them to earn.
  • Advertisements go to AI shows. Human shows get ignored.
  • Listeners do not mind AI. Some like it.

A company can now publish thousands of podcasts a week with almost no people. That fact alone should wake up anyone who makes money from talking into a mic.

The company now turns out roughly 3,000 episodes a week with a team of eight. Each episode costs about £0.75 (₹88.64) to make. With as few as 20 listens, an episode can cover its cost. That single line explains why the rest of this story is happening.
