Mumbai: Superstar Salman Khan and ace filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali created magic with films like ‘Khamoshi: The Musical’ and ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’. Fans of the duo were left excited when Bhansali announced Inshallah with Salman in 2019. However, in the same year, it was reported that the film was shelved due to creative differences between Khan and Bhansali.
Movie buffs were left very disappointed to learn that the film had been called off as they were excited to see Bhansali and Salman Khan’s collaboration 20 years. Since then, fans have been waiting for the duo’s collaboration or some hint about their next reunion.
And now, in the latest interview with Bollywood Hungama, Sanjay Leela Bhansali opened up about the possibility of working with Salman Khan in the near future after the Inshallah debacle. He has said that he has left it up to Salman to decide if they would be able to work together again.
Sanjay said, “Salman is a very dear friend, and I wanted to work with him after Padmavat. I put my best feet forward to make it happen. For whatever reasons, it didn’t turn out. We all change as people. So he has changed; in his mind, I have changed.”
“I have utmost regard and respect for the person who did Khamoshi for me, who did Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam for me, and who stood by in Sawariyaa. So he has been a very very important part of who I am today and I will always respect him for it. The ball is in his court to decide if he wants to work with me, and if it’s god willing inshallah agar hona hai to hoga (it’ll happen if it’s supposed to happen),” he added.
On the professional front, Salman Khan will be next seen in Tiger 3 along with Katrina Kaif. He also has a cameo role in Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathan. Sanjay Leela Bhansali, on the other hand, is currently enjoying the success of his recently released film Gangubai Kathiawadi starring Alia Bhatt. He has Heeramandi in his kitty.
