Inshallah won’t be shelved

With the announcement that Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Salman Khan have parted ways, the spin doctors of showbiz are having a field day. There is widespread speculation about the film’s future. Some say the  parting happened because  of a remuneration issue, others are sure it was because  Salman couldn’t give the (huge) number  of dates that Bhansali required. But the one fact that emerges from the  the many stories doing the rounds is that Inshallah will be made.

A source  close to the project says, “There is no question of shelving the project. Sanjay Leela Bhansali has invested a year of his life preparing to shoot what he feels is one of the purest love stories to have  been made in this country. He cannot let it go.” Sources say Alia Bhatt who plays the female lead in Inshallah has extended all her co-operation to the project.

“It was her dream to work with SLB. There is no way she can bear the thought of that  dream being shattered,” says the source.

The  search for another leading man is on and an announcement would soon be made as to who steps into the  place left vacant by Salman Khan.
