Special security measures to be taken during the U.S. schedule of Inshallah

Starring Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt in lead roles, Inshallah is a film which has been in news even before its official announcement. Since Inshallah marks the reunion of Salman Khan with filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali after a massive gap of two decades, the audience is waiting for the big-ticket offering in eager anticipation.

Bhansali, who last helmed the Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh starrer Padmaavat (2018), recently visited Florida to recce his locations for the U.S. schedule of the film. The director has finalized the locations and is now planning to shoot the movie on the beaches of Miami and in Orlando.


Both locations attract a huge number of people and hence, special security measures are being taken to ensure that when the filmmaker reaches there to shoot with his cast, shooting goes smoothly. Though it is going to be a tough task because both Alia Bhatt and Salman Khan are huge stars and have a fan following all across the world, the team will try to keep things in control as much as possible.

Talking about the same, a source close to the development reveals to an Indian daily, “Alia and Salman are huge stars. They are recognisable around the world and Miami has a huge Indian diaspora as well. So it is important to have a proper security arrangement for them to shoot in Miami. Even when Hollywood films are shot here in Miami, there is huge security. Bhansali’s team wanted the security to match with Hollywood standards.”

Apart from Miami and Orlando, some portions of the film will also be shot at various locations in Varanasi and Uttarakhand. Inshallah is set to begin production at the end of August. Produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali Productions in association with Viacom18 Motion Pictures, the much-awaited movie is scheduled for its theatrical release on Eid, 2020.
