Alia Bhatt is in an enviable position today - only days after she was announced as the leading lady of SS Rajamouli's magnum opus RRR, she has bagged another biggie. The actor has been roped in as the female lead of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next, Inshallah, opposite Salman Khan. Rumoured to be a love story, it marks her first collaboration with the superstar as well as the director.

While buzz suggested that the director was considering his muse Deepika Padukone for the film, Bhansali tells mid-day that Inshallah served as the perfect script to collaborate with the youngster: "Alia is a talented actor, who I knew I would direct someday."
