‘Inshallah’: Alia Bhatt finally opens up on her unusual casting opposite Salman Khan

Working with filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali is a dream come true for any actor in Bollywood. After, ‘Padmaavat’ that released last year, it was only in March this year, when Bhansali’s next project ‘Inshallah‘ was announced. But what caught everyone’s attention was the unusual casting of 26-year-old Alia Bhatt and 53-year-old Salman Khan in this magnum opus. Alia has finally spoken about the reason behind this unusual casting.

Opening about ‘Inshallah’, Alia in a recent interview with Mid-Day said, “Bhansali is a visionary. People are too quick to judge. There is a plan in place and a reason behind the [unusual] casting.”

The ‘Gully Boy’ actress went on to add, “I am thrilled to be working with Salman. Even I never thought this combination [working with Khan and Bhansali] is possible. It will be an intriguing journey and Salman is genuinely warm and kind. They are a magical duo together and I am blessed to be in it.” 

Well, with this you all can now be rest assured that even if Salman and Alia are romantically paired in ‘Inshallah’, there will be a logic behind that. Or else they might even play a brother and sister, you never know!

With ‘Inshallah’, Alia will be working for the first time with both Salman and Bhansali. Whereas the superstar is reuniting with the filmmaker after decades. They had last worked in ‘Saawariya’ which marked the Bollywood debut of Alia’s current boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor.
