Inshallah
Is
Not
A
Dark
Film
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
told
Mirror,
"It's
a
younger
film,
the
kind
I've
wanted
to
make
for
a
long
time
after
all
the
dark,
intense,
over
dramatic
ones."
Inshallah
Is
A
New
Chapter
For
SLB
"Life
is
not
only
about
dark
nights,
it's
also
about
beautiful,
sunshiny
mornings.
It's
a
new
chapter
for
me
as
a
filmmaker," added
the
filmmaker.
On
Casting
Alia
Bhatt
In
The
Film
"Alia
is
an
extremely
young
actress
with
a
lot
of
magic.
She
fits
the
role
beautifully,"
added
the
filmmaker.
SLB
Recalls
How
Salman
Gave
Nod
To
Inshallah
"It
was
a
beautiful,
breezy
evening.
We
were
sitting
in
the
lawn
of
his
home,
and
as
soon
as
the
narration
ended,
Salman
turned
to
me,
saying,
"When
do
we
start?"
It
took
me
back
to
my
two-and-a-half-hour
narration
of
Khamoshi:
The
Musical."
Interesting!
"We
were
in
his
bedroom
then
and
he
kept
looking
at
himself
in
the
mirror.
I
was
wondering
if
he'd
even
heard
me,
but
when
I
finished,
he
told
me
exactly
what
he'd
liked
in
the
story,
making
me
realise
that
he
is
very
sharp,
and
one
shouldn't
presume
anything
with
him."
Have
Salman
Changed
As
A
Person
Over
The
Years?
To
this,
SLB
said,
"Oh,
yes!
Today
he's
a
mega-star,
totally
inaccessible,
with
the
cult
status
of
Rajinikanth
sir,
yet
deep
down
he's
still
a
simple
guy
with
a
pure
heart
and
a
noble
soul."
'I
Am
Glad
Inshallah
Happened'
"I've
been
working
on
it
for
the
last
year-and-a-half,
starting
three
months
before
Padmaavat
released,
to
take
my
mind
off
things
that
were
happening
at
the
time.
I
wrote
and
reworked
till
I
felt
it
was
ready,
then,
went
to
him.
It's
my
10th
film,
I
want
it
to
be
my
best."
