Did you know? Sanjay Leela Bhansali knew Alia Bhatt will be a heroine at age 9

Bollywood filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known for making films on a grand scale and is a thinking director. The celebrated filmmaker goes by his gut feel and is not afraid to experiment. Now, Sanjay Leela Bhansali will be reuniting with Salman Khan for ‘Inshallah’. This project will also feature highly talented and passionate Alia Bhatt.

Now, SLB in an interview with Mumbai Mirror talked about why he chose Alia for ‘Inshallah’. The ‘Padmaavat’ director said, “Alia is an extremely young actress with a lot of magic. She fits the role beautifully. When she was nine, she had come with her mother (Soni Razdan). I saw the sparkle in her eyes. I told Soni I wouldn’t audition her for a child’s role because I knew she was a Hindi film heroine. Later, I went to Soni and Mahesh Bhatt and told them I wanted their girl, but that project did not happen. ‘Inshallah’ will be a beautiful journey.”

Alia Bhatt in such a short period of time has come a long way. It would be interesting to know how Bhansali brings the best out of Alia, who has an abundance of talent. The ‘Raazi’ actress was herself quite delighted and shared her excitement by tweeting.

Dream with your eyes wide open they say & I did. Sanjay Sir and Salman Khan are magical together & I can’t wait to join them on this beautiful journey called “Inshallah” ❤#Inshallah #SLB @BeingSalmanKhan @bhansali_produc @SKFilmsOfficial @prerna982

‘Inshallah’ will also see Salman working with SLB after 20 years and it would be a treat for the audiences.
