The movie is believed to be Alia’s most versatile pick among the projects she has done so far. Alia’s fierce look shared through teasers and posters earlier had already made the film promising enough.
In the crime drama, Alia Bhatt has played the role of Gangubai Kathiawadi who was tricked into prostitution in the 60s. However, Gangubai gradually rises to prominence as an influential brothel owner. The story is based on the chapter ‘Matriarch of Kamanthipura’ from Hussain Zaidi’s book Mafia Queens of Mumbai.
