Mumbai: Bollywood filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali and actor Salman Khan had announced that they are joining hands for the former’s ambitious project ‘Inshallah’ which will feature Alia Bhatt in the female lead.

According to a News18 report, a source stated, “Bhansali is currently working on Heera Mandi, a web series which has been in the making for some time now. Directed by Vibhu Puri, it is going to go on floors soon. On the other hand, the filmmaker is also working on Inshallah since he has finished Gangubai Kathiawadi and can focus on a new project.”
