Confirming the news, Alia also mentioned it was a long wait to finally feature in a Bhansali film.

Alia recently also joined the cast of SS Rajamouli’s Telugu magnum opus RRR , in which she will play Sita, and share the screen space with Ram Charan and Jr NTR. It will mark her debut in South cinema. Sanjay and Salman have together delivered blockbusters hits Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Khamoshi: The Musical. But after a public fallout, the duo refrained from working together. However, buzz is that the two have rekindled their relationship and are on friendly terms again.
