When Alia Bhatt revealed she ‘jumped’ for 5 minutes after being offered Inshallah with Salman Khan

As a lifestyle expert with a rich background in Bollywood and entertainment analysis, I must say that Alia Bhatt’s story of jumping for joy upon receiving the offer to work with Salman Khan in Inshallah is both inspiring and relatable. It’s a testament to the magic that these two powerhouse actors and the visionary director Sanjay Leela Bhansali can create together on-screen.


Let’s reminisce about a past occasion when Alia Bhatt, one of Bollywood’s leading actresses, expressed her excitement upon learning that she would be working alongside Salman Khan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah. Despite the film being put on hold, Alia has voiced her hope for its future revival. This article takes us back to when Alia gleefully leaped for five minutes after receiving the opportunity to collaborate with Salman Khan on this highly anticipated project.

During an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Alia Bhatt spoke about her initial reaction to being cast alongside Salman Khan in Inshallah. She reminisced about leaping with joy as she received the news while overseas, amidst some ongoing activity at the time. Alia described herself as “dashing to a corner and jumping up and down for five whole minutes due to my immense excitement.

2019 marked the official unveiling of “Inshallah.” On her platform, which was previously known as Twitter, Alia expressed her excitement by saying, “They say dream with open eyes, and I did. Sanjay Sir and Salman Khan are a magical duo, and I can’t wait to embark on this wonderful journey titled ‘Inshallah’ with them.” Take a peek at her old post!

If circumstances had been different, Inshallah would have been Alia Bhatt’s initial project alongside Salman Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Nevertheless, she instead teamed up with the director for the crime drama Gangubai Kathiawadi in 2022. This film garnered much praise and awarded Alia her inaugural National Award.

Currently, she’s preparing for the filming of “Love & War” under Bhansali’s direction. She will be acting alongside her husband Ranbir Kapoor and her co-star from Raazi, Vicky Kaushal in this upcoming production. The release date for “Love & War” is set for March 20, 2026.

During an interview with The Lallantop, Alia shared her hope that filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali will one day bring the captivating love story of Inshallah to life.

Currently, Salman Khan is engaged in filming his action movie titled Sikandar, helmed by AR Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. The film is slated for a cinema debut on Eid 2025. Additionally, Salman is poised to appear in Kick 2 as well.
