One of the most awaited films of 2020 is Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi which stars Alia Bhatt in the lead role. The film went on the floors a few weeks ago, and now, the makers are all set to launch the first look of the movie.
Along with a motion poster unveiling the logo of the film, Bhansali Productions took to Instagram to inform everyone about it. They posted, “The wait ends and the excitement begins now ♥️?? Get ready to dive into her world, first look out tomorrow. #GangubaiKathiawadi, in cinemas, 11 September 2020! @aliaabhatt #SanjayLeelaBhansali @prerna_singh6 @jayantilalgadaofficial @penmovies.”
Gangubai Kathiawadi was a brothel owner and had connections in the underworld. It is said that many of her clients were gangsters. Reportedly, SLB’s film is based on the book Mafia Queens of Mumbai written by Hussain Zaidi.
Well, clearly Alia Bhatt will be donning a never-seen-before avatar in the movie and we are super excited for the first look which will be out tomorrow.
Alia and SLB were supposed to team up for Inshallah. But, Salman Khan opted out of the film, and later the filmmaker decided to put Inshallah on a backburner. He started working on Gangubai Kathiawadi and roped in Alia for it. Reportedly, Rani Mukerji was SLB’s first choice to play the lead role in the film.
Gangubai Kathiawadi is slated to hit the screens on 11th September 2020.
Apart from Gangubai Kathiawadi, Alia will be seen in movies like Sadak 2, Brahmastra, RRR and Takht. 2020 is surely a treat for Alia Bhatt fans.

Justin Bieber under fire after commenting on Ariana Greenblatt’s Instagram post
Justin Bieber faces backlash for ‘I love you’ comment on 17-year-old star Ariana Greenblatt’s post
A few simple words from Justin Bieber have triggered a heated debate online. The 30-year-old singer commented “I love youuuuuuuuu” on a photo shared by 17-year-old actress Ariana Greenblatt, leading to immediate backlash from many social media users.
Ariana had posted a photo promoting her new Netflix horror film Fear Street: Prom Queen, dressed in a dark, gothic look. The caption celebrated her excitement about the genre and her character, Christy Renault. The post quickly gained traction, not just for the film but for Bieber’s unexpected comment.
People online were quick to call out the singer. Many felt it crossed a line, pointing to Greenblatt’s age and Bieber’s status as a married adult. Some even went as far as calling for legal action, saying the comment was inappropriate for a minor.
“He’s married. She’s 17. What’s he doing?” one user asked. Others demanded he “back off,” calling it “weird” and “creepy.” A few voices tried to downplay the situation, saying it was just a harmless comment and arguing that fans were overreacting. “He’s just being supportive,” one user defended. “People are too quick to judge.”
Ariana Greenblatt, despite her age, is no stranger to fame. She began her career on Disney Channel’s Stuck in the Middle and has since made waves in big films like Avengers: Infinity War and Barbie. She’s already earned award nominations and built a solid following of over 3.8 million on Instagram.
The post in question had nothing to do with Bieber. It was a promotional piece for her film, but his comment shifted the focus. Neither Ariana nor Bieber has spoken publicly about the controversy yet.
This incident has once again opened up a broader conversation regarding how public figures should engage with younger stars on social media. At what point does a message of support become uncomfortable?
Whether the comment was meant as friendly encouragement or not, the reaction online shows how carefully watched celebrity interactions have become, especially when minors are involved. In a world where one comment can spark national debate, public figures need to remember that every word counts.
