MUMBAI: Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Alia Bhatt were supposed to come together for the film, In-shaa-Allah. The film was supposed to bring together Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt for the first time on big screen. However, the movie got shelved for unknown reasons. Now, the filmmaker has apparently decided to offer a new project to Alia.

According to a report in Mid-Day, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is keen on offering her Gangubai Kothewali, a project that was earlier offered to Priyanka Chopra. This also answers Alia's frequent visit to his office these days despite her movie getting suspended. A source from the filmmaker's production team informed Mid-Day, "Bhansali had committed to working with Alia and is not one to go back on his word. Owing to his creative fallout with Salman Khan and In-shaa-Allah being subsequently shelved, Alia ended up getting the raw deal."
