Gangubai Kathiawadi: Teaser of Alia Bhatt starrer to be out on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s birthday

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Gangubai Kathiawadi starring Alia Bhatt in the lead has been grabbing headlines ever since it’s inception. After the lockdown restrictions were uplifted, the shooting of this film went on floors and guess what? The makers of Gangubai Kathiawadi will be unveiling its teaser tomorrow on the occasion of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s birthday.

Based on a chapter of Hussain Zaidi’s book Mafia Queens of Mumbai, the film chronicles the life of Gangubai Kothewali, the madam of a brothel in Kamathipura. Apparently, the film also features Ajay Devgn in a pivotal role.

On February 24 i.e tomorrow, Bhansali will be celebrating his 58th birthday. So what could be a better occasion to share the teaser of his highly anticipated film. This film marks Bhansali’s first collaboration with Alia Bhatt. Previously, Priyanka Chopra was supposed to headline this film, but eventually, the role went to Alia.
