An unnamed source familiar with the Inshallah project who spoke to Mid Day.
“No casting gets locked on a Bhansali film without the script being finalised. Salman is occupied with Raj-DK’s film while Shah Rukh hasn’t decided his next after King. It’s also possible that the story will seek a younger actor.”
