Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Alia Bhatt are reportedly planning to revive Inshallah after they finish working on Love And War. The film was originally announced in 2019 and was set to star Alia Bhatt and Salman Khan in the lead roles.
The project generated a lot of interest when it was first announced. It was meant to bring Bhansali together with both Alia Bhatt and Salman Khan for the first time. However, the film was eventually shelved after Salman Khan reportedly opted out of the project shortly before the shoot was scheduled to begin.
Why Inshallah Was Shelved in 2019
Inshallah was one of the most talked-about films when it was announced. The combination of Bhansali, Salman Khan, and Alia Bhatt had fans excited. But things changed quickly.
According to reports, Salman Khan decided to leave the project just before filming was about to start. With the lead actor gone, the film could not move forward and was put on hold. The project has remained shelved since then.
What Bhansali and Alia Bhatt Did After Inshallah
After Inshallah was shelved, Bhansali moved ahead with a different project — Gangubai Kathiawadi. That film starred Alia Bhatt in the lead role. It went on to receive critical recognition, and Alia won the National Award for Best Actress for her performance.
The filmmaker and actress are now collaborating once again on Love And War. That film also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. According to a report in Mid-day, Bhansali and Alia may reunite for Inshallah after completing Love And War.
What This Means for Fans of Inshallah
For fans who were disappointed when Inshallah was shelved, this report brings fresh hope. The original pairing of Alia Bhatt and Salman Khan may not return, but a Bhansali-Alia reunion for the same film is a big development.
It is important to note that this is still a report. There has been no official confirmation from Bhansali, Alia Bhatt, or the film's producers about reviving Inshallah. Until an official announcement is made, fans should treat this as a possibility, not a certainty.
Our Take: A Second Chance Worth Taking
In our view, reviving Inshallah makes sense for everyone involved. Bhansali and Alia Bhatt have already proven they work well together — Gangubai Kathiawadi earned Alia a National Award. That partnership has both creative and commercial value.
To put it plainly, Inshallah was a project that never got its fair chance. It was announced with great fanfare and then quietly shelved. If Bhansali and Alia can bring it back to life after Love And War, it would give the film the second chance it deserves.
For now, the report is unconfirmed. But if it turns out to be true, this could be one of the most interesting film collaborations to watch out for in the coming years.
