Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is ambitious about all his projects. His film 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' is almost and is awaiting it's release while he has also planned another similar project titled 'Heera Mandi'. Apart from this Bhansali had yet another project for Alia Bhatt titled 'Inshallah'. The actress was supposed to star alongside Salman Khan in it. However, Salman distanced himself from the project and it was eventually shelved. The latest reports suggest that Bhansali has been trying to revive the project with some other actor and he might cast Hrithik Roshan in the lead role.

A source told Bollywood Bubble, "SLB wants to make Inshallah now. On one hand, he’s planning Heera Mandi as a big web series now and on the other, he wants to mount a film like Inshallah before Baiju Bawra because it’s more modern and has a contemporary take on love. In fact, it’s a story of mature romance brewing between a young girl and a much older guy. That’s why Salman and Alia fit the part. Then, he planned to make it with Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone. But they are doing two back-to-back films and he doesn’t want his film to suffer."

The source further added, "He has spoken to Hrithik to replace Salman. Hrithik has liked the idea but knowing him, he will take his own time to sign on the dotted line. On the other hand, SLB is extremely pleased with Alia’s professionalism and given that Alia stood by him through the difficult times, he now wants Hrithik and Alia opposite each other for the first time ever.”
