Salman Khan is all set to reunite with filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali after a long gap of 11 years. The two worked together in Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor’s debut film Saawariya. Recently, there was a buzz that the two will reportedly work together in a film titled Inshallah. At the launch of Bigg Boss 12 in Goa during a media interaction, Salman confirmed that he will be doing a film with Bhansali.
During the media interaction when Salman was asked about the status of the film Inshallah, the Bigg Boss 12 host looked surprised and said, “Yes, I am doing Sanjay’s film. I don’t know much about it. Have only heard a one-liner about it. But Sanjay is not answering my calls. Please ask him to speak to me.” Reportedly, Deepika Padukone might star in the film opposite Salman.
Salman and Bhansali go a long way back. In fact, Bhansali made his directorial debut with Khamoshi: The Musical that had Salman and Manisha Koirala in the lead. The film also starred Nana Patekar, Seema Biswas and Helen in pivotal roles. The duo then teamed up for Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam which was a blockbuster hit and established Bhansali as one of the leading directors in Bollywood. Besides Salman, the film had Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Ajay Devgn in the lead. Aishwarya and Salman became a couple during the making of the film and their affair is still talked about today.
On the work front, Salman is busy shooting for his film Bharat. The actor has completed the second schedule of the film which was shot in Malta. Bharat is a period-drama and is being directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. The film also stars Katrina Kaif, Disha Patani, Tabu, Sunil Grover, Aasif Sheikh and Jackie Shroff. Salman will also be back on the small screen with Bigg Boss 12. This is the 9th time the actor will be hosting the show.
