Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan's Project with Sanjay Leela Bhansali was almost Finalised, Confirms Producer Nikhil Dwivedi

Seems like the stories of Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan coming together for a Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial weren't all false. Their collaboration was indeed happening, confirms producer Nikhil Dwivedi who was backing the project with Bhansali. So why didn't it materialise? Well, apparently the director wasn't happy with its second half and wanted some more time to explore the script. Eventually, it's safe to say that the project has now been shelved - and if it's permanently or temporarily, we don't know. Kartik Aaryan Is NOT Working With Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Confirms The Director's Production House!

Speaking about the collaboration in question, Dwivedi in his interaction with Mumbai Mirror said, "Yes, it almost happened. Both SRK and SK had agreed to come together, we were excited about it. But I believe Mr Bhansali wasn’t very happy with the second half of the script and wanted more time to work on it.” When asked if the project is likely to go on floors sometime in future, Dwivedi quipped, “I have my doubts." Well, there go all your hopes to see two superstars of Bollywood coming together for a Bhansali project. Nothing sounds better than a prospect of getting this amazing trio together in a single project. Here's What Sanjay Leela Bhansali Plans To Do With Inshallah After Salman Khan Walks Out Of The Film.

While Sanjay Leela Bhansali is now busy with Alia Bhatt's Gangubai Kathiawadi and later Baiju Bawra, Salman has Radhe and Kick 2 to start shooting for. Shah Rukh meanwhile is waiting to start working on his next, an official announcement of which is still pending. So chances of them coming together for a movie are indeed very bleak and we don't see it happening at all. Sigh!
