Ever since the news of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah being shelved broke out, several rumours have started doing the rounds. According to one such rumour, Alia Bhatt has been upset about the recent developments of the film being shelved.
According to a Times of India report, Alia was approached for a film with Aamir Khan, which she had to decline as she had reserved all the dates for Inshallah.

Rumours of Salman wanting to replace Alia Bhatt with Daisy Shah, were also doing the rounds. Salman had preferences about who should play the leading female role in the film and he was inclined to work with either Daisy Shah or Waluscha De Sousa.
However, a source has confirmed that Kalank actor Alia Bhatt is definitely still a part of the project and will be starring opposite Salman Khan.
The source further added that the female character in the film has been written with “a certain flavour in mind” and that “there was no chance that the names doing the rounds would make it to the film.”
Inshallah was supposed to release on Eid 2020. However, the release of the film has been pushed. Salman took to Twitter to tweet about the same. He wrote, “The film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali is pushed but I will still see you all on Eid, 2020. Insha-Allah!!”
