Earlier this month, the makers of 'Inshallah' announced that the film which reunites Salman and Sanjay Leela Bhansali after a long gap will hit the big screens on Eid, 2020, the date which was already booked by 'Sooryavanshi' team.

However, the clash of titans is averted as Rohit opted another release date for his cop drama which also stars Katrina Kaif in lead role.

Coming back to 'Inshallah', the Bhansali directorial, an epic romance drama, is a co-production between Salman Khan Films and Bhansali Productions Private Limited.

While Akshay will be playing the lead role of Veer Suryavanshi, a character that was introduced as an Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) officer in a cameo role by in 'Simmba'.
