Is Ranveer Singh making a special appearance in Bhansali's Gangubai?

The tinsel town of Bollywood is buzzing with a lot of rumours regarding filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next Gangubai. While Alia Bhatt is almost confirmed to essay the title role, some insiders reveal that Ranveer Singh will make a cameo appearance in the movie. The duo was last seen together in Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy (2019) which has been selected as India's official entry for 92nd Oscars.

However, if a report published on a popular entertainment portal is to be believed, these rumours are untrue as Singh has not agreed to do a cameo in the film. The actor has not even been approached for a role in Gangubai


“Alia’s film with SLB has never had Ranveer in the mix. So, there is no question of him doing a cameo in this project. SLB and Ranveer are the most loved, most successful and most acclaimed director-actor combinations of this era. The trade and audience are waiting in anticipation to know when they will join forces again,” a source close to the development reveals. 

For the unversed, Gangubai is based on the life of a woman who worked in the red-light area of Kamathipura, Mumbai. Named Gangubai Kothewali, she was forced into prostitution at an early age and then went onto become a notorious gangster. Gangubai is said to have transformed the lives of many women in the flesh trade. 

The film Gangubai is going to be the replacement of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah which got shelved after superstar Salman Khan exited the project at the last moment. Alia Bhatt was set to play the female lead in Inshallah. However, when the film got stalled, Bhansali offered Gangubai to Bhatt.

Kajol caught in a storm of criticism for saying actors endure more stress than office workers

Highlights:

  • The actress defended her claim that acting demands more than desk jobs in a recent interview.
  • She said office workers can "chill out" during work hours, unlike film stars.
  • Fans and working professionals called her comments privileged and out of touch.
  • The backlash started after her appearance on Amazon Prime's Two Much with Kajol & Twinkle.
  • Critics pointed out the financial gap and support systems actors have compared to regular employees.

Kajol probably didn't expect this reaction when she sat down with Twinkle Khanna on Two Much. But her comments about actors working harder than people with 9-to-5 jobs have blown up, and not in a good way.
