Alia Bhatt, who recently restarted the filming of the project, had shared her excitement and said, “It’s a great feeling to be reunited with the team and being back on set. Of course, we have multiple restrictions and protocols to follow, everyone is very careful, taking all sorts of precautions. But we’ve accepted that this is the new normal, and we’re all trying to make the best of the situation.”

Gangubai Kathiawadi is based on a brothel madam from the red light area, Kamathipura in Mumbai. She is said to have changed the face of the region and is one of the most remembered women from the history of Mumbai. Gangubai is believed to have been pushed into prostitution at a very young age and become the most influential pimp, having served several renowned criminals from the city. Gangubai Kathiawadi will be co-produced by Sanjay and Jayantilal Gada of Pen India Ltd. The new release date of the film is not out yet.
