Alia Bhatt Starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi Has Only Three Days Of Shoot Left; Here’s When Team Will Resume Work

Soon after the nationwide lockdown of 2020 had ended, many filmmakers resumed the shoot of their upcoming projects. Alia Bhatt starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi was one of them. Helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the film is a biographical crime drama which follows the story of a simple girl sold into prostitution, who becomes the madam of a brothel. Well, the shoot was almost complete and it was announced that the film will hit theatres on 30^th July when the director contracted coronavirus.

Soon after Bhansali recovered, Alia tested positive and the shoot was postponed once again. Well, the two are now doing fine but have not been able to resume work due to the second wave of COVID-19 and the subsequent lockdown. According to a report shared by Spotboye, the team has only three more days of shoot left. A source revealed, “Gangubai Kathiawadi needs only three more shooting days. It’s part of a background song filmed on Alia Bhatt—she has no lip-sync songs in this film—which is almost complete. Bhansali was on the verge of completing it when shooting was called off.”

However, even after the lockdown is lifted, Bhansali has no plans to resume shoot. The source explained, “Even if the lockdown ends Bhansali has decided to take no risks by resuming the shoot immediately. He won’t complete that remaining 3-day shooting until the second wave of the COVID declines.” So the team will now resume shoot only when things are better in the country. We wonder if Gangubai Kathiawadi will be able to release on the decided date.
