Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
latest
release
Gangubai
Kathiawadi
starring
Alia
Bhatt
in
leading
role,
has
come
as
a
huge
sigh
of
relief
for
the
Hindi
film
industry
where
box
offices
were
running
dry
owing
to
the
third
wave
of
COVID-19
pandemic.
The
period
drama
is
inching
towards
the
100
crore
mark
and
has
already
minted
a
total
of
Rs
92.22
crore.
Worldwise,
this
Alia
Bhatt-starrer
has
already
crossed
the
century.
However,
Kangana
Ranaut
has
raised
her
suspicion
regarding
the
film's
success
in
a
post
in
one
of
her
Instagram
stories.
The
Queen
star
shared
a
blind
article
which
claimed
that
the
box
office
figures
of
Gangubai
Kathiawadi
have
been
rigged.
Kangana
wrote
that
those
associated
with
the
film
were
compelled
to
achieve
such
astronomical
numbers
at
the
box
office.
The
Manikarnika
actress
wrote,
"Achcha
doodh
mein
pani
to
suna
tha
lekin
pani
me
doodh...hmm...
kya
majbooriyaan
rahi
hongi
becharon
ki...
(We
have
heard
about
the
trend
of
diluting
milk
with
water
but
here
water
seems
to
have
been
diluted
with
milk....
the
helpless
people
must
have
had
some
obligations)."
This
is
not
the
first
time
when
Kangana
Ranaut
has
taken
an
indirect
jibe
at
Alia
Bhatt
and
her
latest
release.
Before
the
release
of
Gangubai
Kathiawadi,
Kangana
had
indirectly
mocked
the
actress
in
a
post
in
her
Instagram
stories
in
which
she
had
referred
her
as
a
"romcom
bimbo" and
"papa
ki
pari".
Without
mentioning
the
name
of
Alia's
film,
she
had
predicted
that
it
will
be
burnt
to
ashes
at
the
box
office.
Later,
Alia
had
reacted
to
Kangana's
statement
with
a
quote
from
Bhagavad
Gita.
The
actress
had
said,
"Lord
Krishna
had
said
in
The
Gita,
inaction
in
action.
That's
what
I
will
say."
