Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Gangubai Kathiawadi stars Alia Bhatt in the titular role and Ajay Devgn will be seen playing a pivotal role in the movie.

The teaser of the film was released a few months ago, and it had received a great response. There were reports that Gangubai Kathiawadi might get a direct-to-digital release. But, the makers had denied the reports and confirmed that the movie will release in theatres only.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known for making some amazing period dramas, so the expectations from Gangubai Kathiawadi are quite high. It will be the first Bollywood biggie to release in theatres in 2022.
