Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt react on 'Inshallah'

After being asked about what went wrong with the film, the ‘Dabangg 3’ actor said, "Currently, Inshallah is not being made. Inshallah will be made but at least not with me." Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt, after talking about her fondest memories with IIFA, went on to talk about ‘Inshallah' and said, “ Look, I was very excited to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali as well as with Salman Khan. I believe that sometimes some things happen which are not in our control. It is said that if you have to make God laugh, you should tell him your plans. Plans never go as per plans. But I can give you in writing that I’m going to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali very soon.”
