4. Sanjay Leela Bhansali reveals Alia Bhatt's reaction to shelving of Inshallah

A few years back, Alia Bhatt and Salman Khan were set to star in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Inshallah. However, the project was unexpectedly shelved. SLB recently revealed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India that Alia was deeply affected by the news, locking herself in a room and breaking down. "She broke down, she cracked up, cried, raved, ranted, locked herself in the room," the filmmaker said.

Reflecting on the incident, he shared how, just a week later, he called Alia to offer her the lead role in Gangubai Kathiawadi. Initially uncertain about portraying the character, Alia expressed her doubts, but Bhansali reassured her to trust his vision. The rest, as they say, is history, with Gangubai Kathiawadi becoming a National Award-winning success.
