Did Sanjay Leela Bhansali Suffer Rs 15 Crore Loss Because Of Inshallah?

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah has been shelved and it came as a big shock to everyone. The Pre-Production work of the film was already started and a set was built at Mehboob studios in Mumbai where the female lead Alia Bhatt already shot for a song for 3 days. But just before Salman could be a part of the shoot, Both Sanjay and Salman decided to shelve the film.

As per a report by an entertainment portal, Inshallah is still on hold and its production cost is rising each day, The salaries of the staff are included, construction of the set and the charges for location in India and USA are also involved. 

The source said, “Apparently, Salman had offered to take over the production reins and offered to fund the film in total but while discussions were still on, the project fell apart. But pre-production expenses have cost the filmmaker even before the project started and if rumors are to be believed, he has apparently shelled out almost Rs 15 crore from his own pocket. He started the movie more than a year ago and apart from investing in the shoot, money was spent on pre-production, the salaries of every department and part of Team Inshallah. Bhansali has to pay those off too.”

The source further added that Sanjay had decided to book the whole Mehboob studio to avoid any leakage from the film. Reports were that booking the studio might have cost him around a crore. It is also said that Alia and the other actors in the key role were also paid their respective amounts. According to the source, If this film does not start again, then Sanjay would be at loss.
