Is Sahir Ludhianvi biopic and Inshallah in the making? Sanjay Leela Bhansali says, “It’s about the inner calling of the filmmaker”

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has once again proved he’s an ace filmmaker with the recently released Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. As the multi-starrer Netflix series continues to rake in more love, the maker talks about his dream projects. For those who don’t know, three of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s dream projects have been made – Black, Bajirao Mastani and Heeramandi, and two make the headlines often – Sahir Ludhianvi biopic and Inshallah.

While interacting with Pinkvilla, Sanjay Leela Bhansali got candid about his dream projects he wishes to see be made. The acclaimed director said, “Now, as the 4th, 5th, and 6th unfold, you’ll get to know, right now, I can’t speak. I really don’t know what I’ll make when I’ll make it, it’s a very spontaneous decision. I’ll be making Gangubai, and suddenly, I put the script down and say, Ram Leela. So I’ll be suddenly making Inshallah, and I’ll say No, Gangubai (Kathiawadi). So I feel it’s about the inner calling of the filmmaker, the inner calling that comes from deep down that ‘ye banao (make this)’.”

Sanjay continued, “Then I am full on onto the project, then I am into the film, and I am making it like it’s me, my soul has to survive, us kisam ki (that kind of) commitment! It’s with everything, so I can’t make a film with because it sounds good on paper or it’s a good cast, it has to come from deep within to want to make the film, so what I’ll make (I don’t know).”
