Talking about the premiere, Sanjay Leela Bhansali said, "It was memorable in every way possible. I cannot thank the Festival organizers enough for the honour that they gave my film. It was a full-moon night. It was also a rain-washed frosty night. The combination of the full moon and the rains were I think godsent. It was His blessing. The 'Devdas' premiere had happened on a no-moon night: it was a lunar eclipse. I always feel the hand of God in my films. At the most expected of times, when life looks unsure, God has brought down the rains. I feel they are a sign for me."

Gangubai Kathiawadi marks Alia and Bhansali's first film together. The movie is based on a chapter from writer Hussain Zaidi's book Mafia Queens of Mumbai. Set to release on February 25, the movie also stars Ajay Devgn, Vijay Raaz, Seema Pahwa and Indira Tiwari.
