Alia was recently in the news when her colleague Vidya Balan during a Film Companion roundtable, he mentioned that it was “ridiculous” how filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali left with all the standing ovations after the film’s success. “How come Gangubai was doing well? If a women’s film does well, it’s the director’s credit, and that’s ridiculous. We have worked so hard as women to have a certain status today where we are the main movie headliners. More and more actresses are doing it. I love how after the pandemic, because men’s movies don’t work, they suddenly turn around and say that women’s movies won’t work any more. How ridiculous? I really want to say, ‘What about Gangubai?’ It did more than most male-driven films.”
Alia Bhatt-starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi released in February this year and was not only a critical but also a commercial success, grossing Rs 129 crore in India alone, according to Bollywood Hungama.
