Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi starring Alia Bhatt was on a halt ever since a nationwide lockdown was announced in March. Now, with new guidelines, the film is expected to start shooting again soon. While Alia was the only actor revealed officially as a part of the film, two more names have reportedly joined the line of the cast. They are none other than Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi, who were last seen together in Once Upon A Time In Mumbai.
"While Emraan has already shot for his portions silently earlier this year with Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn is expected to join Alia and co. once the shooting resumes post lockdown. Ajay plays the character of a gangster, Karim Lala, while not much is known about Emraan’s role. Both their characters have their own swag, style and SLB felt that the two actors fit the bill perfectly,” revealed a source close to the development. Both the characters are extended cameos but pivotal to the narrative of the film. “Gangubai’s journey is incomplete without the people around her, and the ones portrayed by Ajay and Emraan played a role in shaping up her personality in the Mumbai underworld,” the source added.

After wrapping up Gangubai, SLB will begin his period musical, Baiju Bawra and as per reports, he is in talks with Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone to play the lead. “Ajay too was in talks for the film for another role. However, there has been no progress on that front at the moment as Ajay’s calendar is filled with multiple releases.”
