One of the key industries that have been affected by COVID-19 is the film industry. Many films’ releases have been stalled during this time and for many completing the film has become a big task. One such film that got stuck was Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi. The film’s shoot started in 2019, and it got completed recently..

The film stars Alia Bhatt in the lead role and is loosely based on a chapter from the book Mafia Queens of Mumbai written by S. Hussain Zaidi. It is produced by Jayantilal Gada and Sanjay Leela Bhansali and also stars Vijay Raaz, Indira Tiwari and Seema Pahwa.

Earlier today, Alia Bhatt took to Instagram to pen an emotional note about the film. She penned, “We started shooting Gangubai on the 8th of December 2019 .. and we wrapped the film now 2 years later! This film and set has been through two lockdowns.. two cyclones.. director and actor getting covid during the making!!! the troubles the set has faced is another film all together! But through all that and more.. what I take away is the gigantic life changing experience!

She then added, “Being directed by sir has been a dream all my life, but I don’t think anything would have prepared me for the journey I was on for these two years.. I walk out of this set a diff person today! I love you sir! Thank you for being you .. there is truly NO ONE like you When a film ends a part of you ends with it! Today I’ve lost a part of me.. Gangu I love you! You will be missed P.S – special mention to my crew – my family and friends for these two years! without you nothing would have been possible! Love you guys!!!”
