Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
'Gangubai
Kathiawadi'
has
been
in
the
news
for
quite
some
time
now.
It
is
learnt
that
the
story
of
the
brothel
owner
of
Kamathipura
was
quite
close
to
Bhansali's
heart
and
he
was
waiting
for
the
right
actress
to
come
on
board
for
the
project
to
take
off.
Earlier,
Priyanka
Chopra
was
rumoured
to
play
the
titular
role
but
with
Alia
Bhatt
in
place,
seems
like
his
dream
is
finally
coming
true.
The
latest
reports
reveal
that
Hrithik
Roshan
has
been
approached
to
play
the
role
of
gangster
Haji
Mastan.
If
this
turns
out
to
be
true,
this
would
be
the
first
time
Hrithik
and
Alia
are
coming
together
for
a
project
and
would
surely
send
fans
into
a
tizzy.
However,
we
need
to
wait
for
an
official
confirmation
from
the
makers'
end
before
we
get
too
excited.
The
movie
is
expected
to
go
on
floors
in
December
this
year.
Meanwhile,
Sanjay
has
also
announced
another
project
titled
'Baiju
Bawra',
slated
to
hit
screens
for
Diwali
2021.
Rumour
has
it
that
Ranveer
Singh
has
been
approached
to
play
the
titular
role.
