Salman Khan on shelving ‘In-shaa-Allah’: Nothing changes between Sanjay Leela Bhansali and me

Salman Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali are known to create magic onscreen with ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ (1999). It was announced that this power duo were coming back together for their next project ‘In-shaa-Allah’. The fans were super excited and the movie was creating numerous headlines. However, the fans have been left heartbroken because the makers have announced that the movie has been shelved.

Salman Khan told Mumbai Mirror that Sanjay and him are still good friends. The two will surely collaborate on a different project in the future. He said, “Sanjay was a friend even before we started working on ‘Khamoshi’. He had come to meet me through Manisha Koirala. After that, we collaborated on ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’. 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 (betrayal) 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.”

It all went down when Bhansali Productions took to their Twitter to put out an official statement about the film.

Bhansali Productions has decided to not go ahead with In-shaa-Allah for now… Further announcement will be out soon… God willing??@prerna982

Later, Salman Khan (who was going to star in the movie) also took to his Twitter account to give out his statement on the same. He also left his fans with a promise.

The film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali is pushed but I will still see you all on Eid, 2020. Insha-Allah!!

According to a report by Mumbai Mirror, a source informed them that the decision was taken by Salman and Sanjay mutually after a closed-door meeting. The satellite and digital rights had been sold and even the sets had been built. After looking at the bigger picture, they decided that the two would do better in another project.

Later, Salman took to his Twitter to clear the air. He wrote, “Itna mat sochna mere baare mein, Dil mein aata hoon.. aur Eid pe bhi ?”

Itna mat sochna mere baare mein, Dil mein aata hoon.. aur Eid pe bhi ?
