Alia Bhatt’s Gangubai Kathiawadi Shoot Is Almost Complete; Film To Hit Theatres On Decided Date

On Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 58^th birthday last month, Alia Bhatt unveiled the teaser of her much awaited period drama Gangubai Kathiawadi. She looked absolutely stunning in the incredible teaser and it was announced that the film will hit theatres on 30^th July. However, the leftover shooting of the film came to a halt last week when the filmmaker tested positive for coronavirus. Alia, who tested negative, also went under quarantine and fans expected this to affect the release date of their film.

Well much to our delight, latest buzz is that the film is almost complete and will release on the decided date. In a report shared by Bollywood Hungama, a source revealed, “There was just one day of shooting with Ajay Devgn remaining, when SLB was tested positive for Covid. As soon as he recovers he will complete that one day’s shooting. Then only the patchwork and post-production remain.”

The film was hit by the pandemic and the shooting had come to an abrupt halt last year, much like the other upcoming projects of Bollywood. But after the nationwide lockdown was lifted, the team of Gangubai Kathiawadi resumed shoot in September 2020. They shot with only 50 crew members and made sure that all precautionary measures were taken. Reports also suggest that every member was tested for coronavirus twice a week.

Are you excited to watch Alia shine on the big screen as Gangu in July?
