According to a report in Pinkvilla, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is currently dedicated to commencing a new feature film for the big screen in 2024, diligently working behind the scenes to set the project in motion. Similar to his previous works, this upcoming film holds significant personal meaning for him and is expected to generate widespread attention once the official announcement is made. Bhansali aims to commence filming in May or June 2024, and pre-production activities are already underway. Although the filmmaker is exploring multiple ideas and considering various casting options, there is notable speculation within the industry that Inshallah might take the lead as his next cinematic endeavor.
‘Inshallah’ signals a new direction for Sanjay Leela Bhansali in contemporary cinema, as he explores the realm of light-hearted romantic comedy, diverging from his usual intense period dramas. The report added that Bhansali has had multiple meetings with Shah Rukh Khan in recent months, discussing a story and character that harmonise with SRK’s persona. Talks are ongoing to bring SRK on board, and although he has expressed interest, a final decision on his involvement in the project is pending.

Earlier, ‘Inshallah’ was supposed to star Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt together. However, the film was put on back burner after Salman had a creative difference with the director.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan scored hat trick with three blockbuster releases in 2023 with ‘Pathaan‘, ‘Jawan‘ and ‘Dunki‘. He is yet to officially announce his next project.
