This a first time Salman Khan will be sharing screen space with the Raazi actress-Alia Bhatt who has impressed audience with her last release- Gully Boy. Salman and Alia starre film is titled as ‘Ishallah’. The film is likely to release in 2020.
Earlier, DNA reported that, “Sanjay, who is penning the script, has narrated the idea to Salman and he is on board. Though the film isn’t a sequel or a remake, it may be called Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam 2. SLB feels that the movie has all the elements that Hum Dil… had. So, the title feels like a natural fit for part two. However, it will have a different story and new characters. An A-list heroine will be cast opposite Salman, but the makers haven’t approached anyone as yet.”
On work front, Salman Khan will soon start promoting his period drama film ;Bharat’ which is releasing on EId whereas Alia Bhatt will next be seen in Abhishek Varman’s Kalank which is scheduled to release on 19th of April.
