Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Inshallah with Salman Khan & Alia Bhatt shelved due to THIS reason

Several speculations were made about the shelving of Sanjay Leela Bhansali ’s Inshallah which was supposed to star Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt . Now, the film producer Jayantilal Gada has revealed that it was the creative difference between the filmmaker and actor that made the project fall apart.

Before collaborating with Bhansali in Alia Bhatt starrer Gangubai Katiawadi, Gada had initially planned to team up with the filmmaker on Inshallah. When asked about the same, the Pen India ltd founder said, “Yes, we had started work on that film. However, I believe Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Salman Khan had some creative differences. I don’t know exactly as we don’t get into such matters. So, that got shelved and Gangubai Kathiawadi went on floors.”

Further, when Gada was asked if he has discussed anything about this fall-out with Bhansali, he replied, “No, I really didn’t ask and I don’t even have the right to ask. These are creative things which are not our domain.”

Earlier, the reports suggested that the film was shelved due to a tiff between Bhansali and Khan which happened to take place in August 2019 at YRF Studios during a mock shoot. A few weeks later, the filmmaker shelved the much-anticipated project and moved on to Gangubai Kathiawadi with Alia. However, neither of the parties had made any statement on such reports.

Rather in an old interview, Salman had spoken about his friendship with Bhansali on the sidelines of Inshallah. He had said, “When he came to me with this film, I liked it and we decided to work together again. One thing I can say is that Sanjay won’t do gaddaari with his film. I want him to make the film he wants to make. Nothing changes between us as friends and I’m sure nothing has changed in Sanjay’s heart for me. I’m extremely close to his mother (Leela) and sister (Bela). I wish him all the best. He and I will still work in future on a film, Inshallah.”

Even Bhansali called Salman his ‘very dear friend’ and said, “We all change as people. So he has changed, in his mind I have changed.” The director shared that they are in good terms and added that ‘we have spoken in between also’ and also said, “It’s not like we are strangers or we do not like each other or we do not speak to each other.”
