Alia Bhatt and Sajay Leela Bhansali’s collaboration for ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ was highly anticipated. Now that the filming schedule has completed, fans look forward to the release of the film. While the film has been completed even in the middle of the pandemic, the journey was rather difficult. The film went on the floors two years ago and took a pandemic and two cyloclones to complete, with the actor and the director contracting Covid.
Alia took to her Instagram to share her journey of being Gangubai and said that as she finishes the shoot, she feels like a different person now.
“We started shooting Gangubai on the 8th of December 2019… And we wrapped the film now 2 years later! This film and set has been through two lockdowns…Two cyclones. Director and actor getting COVID during the making! The troubles the set has faced is another film all together,” wrote Alia Bhatt in her post.
Despite the obstacles, Alia Bhatt’s “take away” from the film was “the gigantic life changing experience.” Speaking of her experience of working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali for the first time, Alia Bhatt wrote: “Being directed by Sir has been a dream all my life, but I don’t think anything would have prepared me for the journey I was on for these two years… I walk out of this set a diff person today! I love you sir! Thank you for being you… There is truly no one like you.”
“When a film ends a part of you ends with it! Today I’ve lost a part of me… Gangu I love you! You will be missed. PS_ A special mention to my crew – my family and friends for these two years! Without you nothing would have been possible! Love you guys,” Alia signed off.
