Inshallah: Twitter loses the plot over unusual pairing of Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next

Actors Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt will share the screen space for the first time in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s romantic drama  Inshallah .

The film was in buzz ever since it was announced. Salman will reunite with Bhansali after 20 years. The two worked together in 1999 and delivered the blockbuster Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. While the fans are still speculating about the story of the film and the 30-year age gap between the lead actors, the internet cannot stop talking about the unusual pairing.

A Twitter user also dug up an old picture of Salman Khan along with a young Alia.

Okay, so #Salmalia it is.... Had heard this on the day, film was announced last month.... A magnificent cast to be directed by a loved personality, and an upfront mass title, #Inshallah. This is indeed the BIGGEST film of 2020. @BeingSalmanKhan @aliaa08 #SanjayLeelaBhansali
