Actors Alia Bhatt and Salman Khan have been confirmed to star in director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Padmaavat' follow-up, titled 'Inshallah'. The movie will be a co-production between Salman Khan Films and Bhansali Productions, reuniting the actor and director almost two decades after their superhit 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'. Both Alia and Salman were spotted at Bhansali's Mumbai office recently, fueling speculation about the project which is rumoured to also feature Shah Rukh Khan in a cameo.

Announcing the news, Alia tweeted, β€œI was 9 when I first walked into Sanjay Leela Bhansali's office, all nervous and hoping and praying that I would be in his next film. It's been a long wait. 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'.” Salman also tweeted saying, β€œIt's been 20 years but I am glad Sanjay and I are finally back in his next film, 'Inshallah'. Looking forward to work with Alia and Inshallah, we will all be blessed on this journey.”

On the work front, Alia will be seen next in Karan Johar's period drama 'Kalank', followed by fantasy film 'Brahmastra'. Salman will be seen with Katrina Kaif in 'Bharat'.
