Clash between Gangubai Kathiawadi and RRR averted, the former gets postponed

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi starring Alia Bhatt in the lead role was slated to release on 6th January 2022, and SS Rajamouli’s RRR, which also stars Bhatt, is slated to hit the big screens on 7th January 2022. However, the clash has been averted and Gangubai Kathiawadi will now release on 18th February 2022.

Pen Studios took to Twitter to make an announcement about the new release date. They tweeted, “Watch her rise with power, courage & fearlessness. #GangubaiKathiawadi coming to take over 2022 on 18th February, in cinemas near you. #SanjayLeelaBhansali @ajaydevgn @aliaa08 @prerna982 @jayantilalgada @bhansali_produc @saregamaglobal.”


Gangubai Kathiawadi also stars Ajay Devgn in the pivotal, and the actor is also a part of RRR.

Rajamouli took to Twitter to wish the team of Gangubai Kathiawadi. He tweeted, “The decision by Mr. @JayantilalGada and Mr. #SanjayLeelaBhansali to move the release date is well appreciated. Our heartfelt wishes to #GangubaiKathiawadi..:)”

A few months ago, the teaser of Gangubai Kathiawadi was released and it had received a great response. Reportedly, apart from Bhatt and Devgn, the film also stars Emraan Hashmi in a pivotal role. However, there’s no official announcement about it.

While Gangubai Kathiawadi is Bhatt and Bhansali’s first film together, it is Devgn and Bhansali’s second collaboration. The two had worked together 22 years ago in the film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.

Two Sinners marks Samir Zaidi’s striking directorial debut

Samir Zaidi, director of 'Two Sinners', emerges as a powerful new voice in Indian film

Indian cinema has a long tradition of discovering new storytellers in unexpected places, and one recent voice that has attracted quiet, steady attention is Samir Zaidi. His debut short film Two Sinners has been travelling across international festivals, earning strong praise for its emotional depth and moral complexity. But what makes Zaidi’s trajectory especially compelling is how organically it has unfolded — grounded not in film school training, but in lived observation, patient apprenticeships and a deep belief in the poetry of everyday life.

Zaidi’s relationship with creativity began well before he ever stepped onto a set. “As a child, I was fascinated by small, fleeting things — the way people spoke, the silences between arguments, the patterns of light on the walls,” he reflects. He didn’t yet have the vocabulary for what he was absorbing, but the instinct was already in place. At 13, he turned to poetry, sensing that the act of shaping emotions into words offered a kind of clarity he couldn’t find elsewhere. “I realised creativity wasn’t something external I had to chase; it was a way of processing the world,” he says. “Whether it was writing or filmmaking, it came from the same impulse: to make sense of what I didn’t fully understand.”
