Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt to begin shooting for Inshallah by mid-August?

Sanjay Leela Bhansali recently announced that he will be making film with Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt titled 'Inshallah'. Since then, the film has been the talk of the town. It was earlier reported that the film will go on floors in September. The shoot will take place in Mumbai.

However, a new report in Peepingmoon claims that the film will go on floors by August 18 or 19. ''The production team will start erecting the sets this week and aims to start filming in the third week of August. The first Mumbai schedule is said to be a small one where Salman will shoot his introductory scene and other sequences,'' it quoted a source as saying.

Meanwhile, Alia is currently holidaying in Ooty with her family, while Salman is busy shooting for Dabangg 3.

Inshallah will bring Salman and Sanjay together after 20 years. Their last outing was Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. While Alia will reportedly play an aspiring actor, Salman will reportedly be seen as a businessman in his 40s. As per reports, Salman’s character will romance a girl 20 years younger to him.

''Salman is a businessman in his mid-40s. The character is reminiscent of his turn in his 1997 romcom Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai. Alia plays a 20-something aspiring actress. All the factors, including age gap, have been taken into consideration. The story will justify the teaming up of two actors, from different generations, on a romantic journey,'' a Mumbai Mirror report had earlier quoted a source as saying.

The film, a love story, is co-produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali Productions and Salman Khan Films.
