Alia Bhatt is one of the top actresses of Bollywood. Today she is counted among those actresses in the industry with whom everyone wants to work. Alia Bhatt was also going to work in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Inshallah’ a few years ago, which was Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s dream project. In this film, Salman Khan will be seen in the lead role with Alia Bhatt, about which the fans were also very curious. But, even before the shooting of the film started, it got shelved. Due to which even Alia Bhatt’s fans were heartbroken. However, it was not only the fans who were heartbroken by the news of Inshallah being shelved, but for Alia Bhatt too, this news was no less than a shock. Sanjay Leela Bhansali himself has revealed Alia’s reaction on the closure of Inshallah.
Aaliya was heartbroken when Inshallah was closed
According to Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the sudden closure of Inshallah had a deep impact on Alia. In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India, she talked about the emotional impact the closure of Inshallah had on Alia Bhatt. He told that when Inshallah was closed and Alia got this news, she was devastated. Bhansali says- “She broke down, she cried bitterly, cried a lot, screamed and locked herself in a room.”
When Bhansali called Alia after 1 week
However, about a week after giving the bad news about Inshallah, Bhansali again called Alia and gave a good news. This was good news about Gangubai Kathiawadi. However, initially Alia Bhatt was a bit unsure about this film, as she found this character quite difficult. She admitted to Bhansali that she was unsure about the character, but with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s guidance, Alia gradually transformed into the fierce, resilient Gangubai.
Alia Bhatt had merged into the character of Gangubai
According to Sanjay Leela Bhansali, as soon as Alia took on the character, she went with it and completely immersed herself in the character of Gangubai. Bhansali revealed that he still sometimes slips into the personality of Gangubai during conversations with Alia Bhatt. He described it as a beautiful association with the role, saying, “It has become a part of him now.”
Alia will be seen in Love and War
After Gangubai Kathiawadi, Alia Bhatt will be seen in another film of Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Alia will be seen in Bhansali’s ‘Love and War’, which is a grand project. Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal will also be there with Alia in this film. Bhansali said in the same conversation that this film is particularly important and challenging, and he is determined to put everything into it. This epic love triangle is expected to release in March 2026.
