EXCLUSIVE: Emraan Hashmi on Alia Bhatt starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi: I’m NOT a part of the film anymore

Alia Bhatt starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi is one of the most anticipated movies for 2021. The film is expected to release later this year in theatres. Gangubai Kathiawadi, directed by ace filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, is said to have many seasoned actors playing pivotal roles. Emraan Hashmi, who delivered a hit with his music video Lut Gaye, was also in talks for the film. However, looks like things haven’t materialized. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Bubble, Emraan revealed that while he was in talks, he is no longer a part of Gangubai Kathiawadi.

Emraan told us, “That [Gangubai Kathiawadi] is not happening. I am not a part of that project. We were in talks but things did not pan out. Not in a bad way but somethings did not work out.” Well, we are sure fans will be a little disappointed to know this. Meanwhile, Emraan Hashmi has a great lineup of movies for the year. He recently shot for Mumbai Saga with John Abraham, Jacqueline Fernandes. Emraan also has Chehre in the pipeline which also stars Amitabh Bachchan. Apart from this, he is also rumored to play the villain in the third installment of the Tiger franchise along with Salman Khan.

Speaking of Gangubai Kathiawadi, the Mumbai Court on Thursday dismissed a suit against Alia Bhatt starrer. Gangubai’s alleged adopted son had filed a suit that cited infringement of the right to privacy, liberty. He claimed that the contents of the chapter of the book ‘The Mafia Queens of Mumbai’ on which the movie is based, are defamatory.

Meanwhile, the set for the movie is built in Film City, Mumbai. Alia Bhatt’s first look for the movie was much loved by everyone as she donned a never-seen-before avatar.
