Since
a
long
time,
there
were
speculations
about
Alia
Bhatt
and
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
teaming
up
for
a
film.
Soon,
the
filmmaker
announced
'Inshallah'
with
her
and
Salman
Khan
in
leading
roles
and
revealed
that
it
would
be
an
Eid
2020
release.
Unfortunately,
the
film
got
shelved
due
to
reasons
best
known
to
the
makers.
This
led
to
various
rumours
about
whether
the
actress
and
the
director
would
collaborate
for
another
project.
Well,
the
wait
is
finally
over.
It
is
now
confirmed
that
Alia
and
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
would
be
teaming
up
for
'Gangubai
Kathiawadi'.
Trade
analyst
Taran
Adarsh
took
to
his
Twitter
page
to
make
the
announcement
and
posted,
"#Xclusiv:

For
those
who
don't
know,
Gangubai
Kathiawadi
hailed
from
the
underworld
and
was
a
brothel
owner,
who
would
peddle
drugs
and
also
give
orders
for
murders.
Earlier
after
'Inshallah'
got
shelved,
Alia
had
told
the
reporters
at
an
event,
"I
was
very
excited
to
work
with
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
and
Salman
as
well,
I
believe
sometimes
certain
things
happen
which
are
not
in
your
control.
They
say
if
you
want
to
make
God
laugh,
tell
them
your
plans.
Plans
never
really
go
'as
per
plan'
but
I
can
give
it
to
you
in
writing
that
I
am
going
to
work
with
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
very
soon."
Alia
isn't
new
to
taking
up
challenging
roles
and
it
would
be
quite
interesting
to
watch
her
in
an
intense
avatar
on
the
big
screen.
Apart
from
'Gangubai
Kathiawadi',
Alia
will
also
be
seen
in
Ayan
Mukerji's
'Brahmastra',
Mahesh
Bhatt's
'Sadak
2'
and
Karan
Johar's
'Takht'.
