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.
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
