Shooting for Gangubai Kathiawadi resumes with selected cast & crew

We have been long waiting to see the collaboration between Alia Bhatt and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Earlier the actor-director duo was supposed to work on Inshallah with Salman Khan in the lead role. But due to some differences between Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Salman, the project had to be shelved. But soon after that Gangubai Kathiawadi was announced with Alia as the leading lady. The shooting for this one started in December 2019 but came to a halt in March 2020 because of the lockdown due to pandemic. But now as the situation is quite under control and the industry is back on track, Alia has also gone back to the sets of her movie.

According to reports, a team of 50 members is assigned to finish off the scenes with Alia. Actor and choreographer Shantanu Maheshwari, is playing the love interest of Alia in the movie. He has already shot one song for the movie and will be shooting two more.

The script of Gangubai Kathiawadi is based on a chapter from Hussain Zaidi’s book Mafia Queens Of Mumbai. The story revolves around a girl who is sold into prostitution by her lover and how she then manages to become the madam of a brothel in Kamathipura.
