It came as a huge shocker when the news of Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt starrer Inshallah getting shelved came out. Expectedly, several speculations have been made behind the project getting off track. Some of those states that there were creative differences between the star and Sanjay Leela Bhansali, while others suggest about the financial issues.
Now the latest report in Bollywood Hungama states that Salman Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali decided to part their ways from the project to avoid any clashes during the making, as Salman is known for giving creative inputs and SLB don’t like any interference.
A source close to the development, added, “Bhansali is producing the film, along with Salman Khan Films and the filmmaker wanted a continuous stretch of 120 days to complete the movie, starting from September, and with the filmmaker everyone knows, that can get extended to many more days. Salman and the filmmaker are working together after 12 years as Saawariya was their last movie together, Salman stated reasonably that he had Big Boss 13, and his other brand commitments to complete but Bhansali was adamant. Everyone including Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh is used to his style of working and give away their dates for even a year. But Salman could not do that, so he apparently asked ₹100 crore as his fees (which included his satellite and digital rights) as compensation. In a ₹150-crore budget with ₹100 crore taken by lead actor and some more as the filmmaker’s fees, what would remain as profit? SLB felt if Salman was getting such a steep hike he deserved more too. A big financier is said to have bought rights of Inshallah for distribution just a few days ago for ₹195 crores (₹165 crores plus additonal Rs 25 crores for P&A) but yet they were not able to sort out their creative and financial disagreements. On Sunday when finally both realised that they could not work together right now, they decided to part ways.”
