Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali had earlier revealed in an interview that Alia had picked her bag and 'ran out of' his office after hearing the narration of Gangubai Kathiawadi. However the next morning, she called him and said that she wanted to meet him. She later explained to him the reason behind her reaction and took up his offer.
Gangubai Kathiawadi is based on a chapter from Hussain Zaidi's popular novel 'Mafia Queens Of Mumbai' and features Alia Bhatt as a brothel madam. Besides her, the film also stars Shantanu Maheshwari, Seema Pahwa, Vijay Raaz and Jim Sarbh in pivotal roles.
